Ingredients
4
chicken breasts
1
teaspoon
salt
1/2
teaspoon
pepper
1
jar
pesto sauce
(8 oz jar)
1/4
cup
butter
7
oz
mozzarella cheese
(sliced)
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.
