Why chicken breasts might not belong in a slow cooker
In short: This video tests a highly popular YouTube slow cooker recipe involving chicken breasts and baby red potatoes. While it may not be the best method for this meat, we explore how the ingredients perform in a single-pot setting.
The video evaluates a widely watched recipe that combines 1kg of skinless, boneless chicken breast with 600g of halved baby red potatoes and carrots. The seasoning involves a mixture of olive oil, 75mL of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tsp of dried oregano, 1 tsp of onion powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
Cooking instructions suggest setting the slow cooker to high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Despite the popularity of this method, the presenter notes that chicken breasts are generally not ideal for slow cooking.
