Is there a way to make chicken breast come out less dry in a slow cooker? I'm cooking a week's worth of dinner meat at once. I realize that a slow cooker is basically overcooking the meat but I figured I'd ask anyway.
why don't you just not use a slowcooker and not overcook it?

Throw a chicken thigh in there and maybe a tiny bit of chicken broth

Add it 1hr from the end, or just use dark meat -- thigh (boneless or bone in)
Chicken
Sear
Oven
Rest
Serve

How are you cooking it? You can't just throw raw chicken in a slow cooker and expect it to be good.
Find a stew recipe with chicken, or better yet, a BBQ pulled chicken recipe.

What the fuck, this is beyond easy.
Chicken breast should NEVER go beyond 165 F for any reason, in any circumstances. If you do, its called "overcooked" and generally ruined. This is proven fact, not opinion.
A slow cooker, by definition, cooks the contents for several hours at temperatures between 200 and 210 degrees F. This is not opinion, its fact.
Now think for about 10 minutes, because I know you're struggling and I will give you time. Start thinking about how these two processes are incompatible. I expect this will take many years for you to fully grasp, but its great that you're taking the first step today, I'm very proud of you.

That's some shit advice lad. Ill slow cook a whole bird with only salt pepper and bay leaf. Let in stew in its own broth for 6 hours. You cant pick that shit up cause it disintegrates on contact, but thats the most tender moist and juicy meat youll ever taste. Pure fucking chicken goodness. You can add the meat to any other shit you got going on and now you have a pot full of homemade stock which can be used for everything.
