Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by preparing my ingredients. I dice up the carrots and celery, which not only adds an incredible depth of flavor but also turns my kitchen into a colorful haven. I place the boneless chicken breasts in the bottom of my crockpot, followed by the diced veggies, diced tomatoes, and all my lovely seasonings. Pour the chicken broth over the top, and voila! Dinner is practically done. Now, I pop the lid on and set my crockpot to low for about 6 to 7 hours. This is when the magic happens, as the flavors meld beautifully.
