Can you just put raw chicken in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can put raw chicken in the crockpot.  Just be sure to follow this recipe’s instructions for cooking to make sure that the chicken is all the way cooked through!  It’s important to note that every slow cooker cooks a little differently, so you can always cook for slightly longer if needed.

Is it better to cook chicken on high or low in crockpot?

Honestly, either way works.  You should just look at your day’s schedule, and plan around work or any appointments you have to get done.  The good thing with crockpot cooking is, you have options!

How long does it take to cook chicken breasts in crockpot?

For this recipe, it’ll either take you 3 hours on LOW + 1/2 hours on HIGH; or 6 1/2 hours on HIGH.  This should be more than enough time for the chicken to be fully cooked through.  If note, then don’t hesitate to cook until complete.
