This Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Chicken and Onions recipe is a simple, hands-off way to create tender, flavorful meat using just a few basic ingredients. As the dish cooks, the onions soften and release their natural moisture, creating a rich, savory sauce that keeps the chicken juicy and full of flavor. The result is fall-apart tender chicken with a naturally sweet, onion-rich base.
