Instructions
- Add chicken to the crock and brush with the sun dried tomato oil on both sides.
- Sprinkle the paprika, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and oregano over both sides of the chicken.
- Pour in the broth, then add the garlic and sun dried tomatoes over the chicken.
- Cover and cook on Low for 4-5 hours or High for 2-3 hours, or until chicken is done and reaches 175° F (dark meat).
