Directions
  1. Lightly grease a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray.
  2. Generously sprinkle garlic powder, basil, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper over the chicken breasts.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until light golden brown.
