If you mean a “throw everything in” raw chicken tenderloin recipe, here’s an easy one:
Slow-Cooker Garlic Herb Chicken Tenderloins
Ingredients
- 1½–2 lb (700–900 g) raw chicken tenderloins
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the raw chicken tenderloins directly into the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the butter.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours or HIGH for 1–1½ hours, depending on thickness.
- Check the thickest piece with a food thermometer. Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) internally.
- Stir in the lemon juice before serving.
Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
Tip: Don’t rely only on cooking time—use a thermometer to confirm the chicken reaches 165°F/74°C.
