Description
A comforting, no-fuss meal delivering mouthwatering flavor with minimal effort using a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions
- Begin by preparing your chicken. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts or thighs with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, sauté the chopped onion and garlic until the onion turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic to your crockpot. Place the seasoned chicken on top and layer the chopped bell peppers and diced tomatoes above the chicken.
- Pour the chicken broth over the entire mixture and add frozen mixed vegetables if using.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. Shred the chicken in the pot during the last hour if desired.
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor.
