Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • garlic minced or powder
  • onion sliced or powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Layer sliced onions at the bottom of the crockpot. Place chicken breasts on top.
  • Pour in chicken broth and olive oil. Add additional seasonings or flavor blend of choice.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding directly in the crockpot for easy serving.

Notes

Customize with flavor options like Italian herbs and diced tomatoes, Tex-Mex salsa and cumin, or a creamy Greek yogurt finish. For extra greens, stir in baby spinach or kale during the final 30 minutes.
