This basic chicken recipe is a good one for busy days when you just want to toss chicken into the crockpot and have the main dish ready to go in the evening for dinner.
Place chicken in the crock pot and add water (Note* if you do not wish to make gravy with the broth you can add 1 cup of water instead of 2 cups). Season with the seasonings (to taste), then toss in the garlic slices and onion.
Cook on high for 4 1/2-5 hours until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the chicken thighs/legs reads 165. Cooking times may vary depending on your crock pot size and strength . *See notes below.
