Ingredients
1.5 lbs Boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker to create a flavor base.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Lay the chicken breasts flat over the onion bed for even heat distribution.
Pour the chicken broth and olive oil over the chicken.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid to seal in moisture.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 3.5 hours.
Verify the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken and let it rest for five minutes before shredding or slicing.
Notes
Ensure the lid stays closed during the cooking process to maintain consistent heat. Rest the meat to retain juices before slicing. If you prefer more flavor, add dried herbs like oregano or thyme to the broth.
