Instructions
- Place the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. I used a 6 quart slow cooker.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the pesto sauce over the chicken and place the butter on top.
- Cook on low for 5-7 hours or on high for 2.5-3.5 hours until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F).
- 15 minutes before ready to serve top the chicken with the sliced mozzarella cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately and while warm.
Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts in this recipe if you prefer.
