Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with the chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Add all of the ingredients (except the cheese) to the slow-cooker.
Cook on low for 6-7 hours, high for 3-4 hours until the chicken turns white and is tender.

Notes
You can substitute the chicken seasoning for 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
I like to wait until the dish has been prepared to add salt and pepper. That way I can taste repeatedly and adjust accordingly. This results in making sure the dish isn’t too salty. You can always add more, you can’t take it back when you have used too much.
