Instructions
Place the sliced red onions in the base of the slow cooker pot, and the chicken breasts on top.
2 red onions,
4 chicken breasts
Layer the sliced peppers and courgettes in with the chicken in the pot.
1 yellow (bell) pepper,
1 red (bell) pepper,
2 courgettes (zucchini)
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle the dried oregano over the top.
Salt and pepper,
1 tsp dried oregano
Add some basil leaves into the pot too.
1 handful Freshly picked basil leaves
Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3 hours. Try not to leave it any longer or your chicken may dry out.
As the chicken cooks juices will be produced in the base of the pot, it will not be cooking dry.
Transfer to a serving dish (leaving the juices behind), garnish with more fresh basil and serve. Delicious with pasta and salad for a light meal.

Note
