Ingredients
2 lbs (900g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
2 cups (480ml) diced tomatoes
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
Instructions
Prepare the onions by dicing them uniformly for even cooking.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
Add the diced onions, tomatoes, and dried oregano over the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients, ensuring the chicken is adequately covered.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 5 hours.
Before serving, gently shred the chicken with two forks while still in the pot to combine with the tomato juices.
Notes
Rub the dried oregano between your palms before adding to the pot to help release the essential oils for better flavor. Ensure the onion pieces are uniform to guarantee they soften properly during the cooking cycle.
