This was a delicious recipe I choose for the Australian/New Zealand recipe swap on Recipezaar. It was really easy, except for me cutting my finger while chopping the onion! The meat turned out tender and juicy.
I used 4 large bone-in chicken breasts (I saved 2 for a curry) instead of a whole chicken because that's what I had and I figured it would work just fine. For maximum flavour, marinate overnight.

½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup onion, chopped
- Combine spices in a small bowl.
- Remove giblets from chicken and clean thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towel.
- Rub spice mixture over chicken. cover with plastic wrap or place in a ziplock bag and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to cook, chop onion and place in bottom of crock pot.

- There is no need to add liquid, there is plenty of liquid that will come from the chicken and you can even make gravy from it!
