In a small bowl, mix the seasoned salt, garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, and dried thyme.
Pour the chicken stock into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the sliced onion and garlic cloves.
Step 4: Cook the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker.
Once done, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.
Freezing: You can freeze the cooked chicken breasts in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
