Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. Rub this spice mixture over the chicken. For extra flavorful chicken, you can rub a little of the spice mixture under the skin of each breast, too, but this is optional.
Add celery, carrots, onions, and water to the bottom of a 6-7 quart slow cooker. Place the chicken breasts on top of the bed of vegetables.
Cover and cook on low until chicken is cooked through and reaches a minimum temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will take about 4-5 hours on low, or 2-3 hours on high.
