Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup chopped onions
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
– 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
First Step: Prepare all ingredients by chopping onions, mincing garlic, and dicing tomatoes. Measure out spices and liquids to streamline the cooking process.
Second Step: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker base, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking. For dietary variations, substitute chicken with chickpeas or tofu as needed.
Third Step: Add chopped onions, garlic, and diced tomatoes over the chicken. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth ensuring the ingredients are partially submerged to retain moisture.
Fourth Step: Sprinkle dried oregano and black pepper evenly on top. Adjust seasoning or add gluten-free or low-sodium spices to meet dietary needs.
Fifth Step: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and flavors are well combined.
Final Step: Before serving, check for seasoning and adjust salt or herbs if necessary. For a vegan option, ensure all ingredients are plant-based. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon to enhance the flavors further.
