Discover how to prepare juicy Crockpot chicken breasts with simple ingredients. Learn the nutritional benefits and cooking tips.
Ingredients
- 2.5 lb chicken breasts (about 3 whole breasts)
- 0.5 cups water
For the marinade
- 3 tbsp unsweetened tomato sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp white pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Sea salt to taste
Vegetables to accompany the chicken
- 2 garlic cloves sliced thick
- 1 medium onion
- 2 carrots
- 1 leek
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl.
Season the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade.
If you have time, let them rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours; if not, you can skip this step.
Place the whole breasts in the Crockpot, add the water, and cook on low heat for 5 hours (the first hour on high, then switch to low).
Once cooked, shred or slice the chicken breasts and mix with the cooking juices. The result is tender, flavorful meat.
Serve the sliced chicken on a platter with the vegetables around it, all drizzled with the sauce.
