1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Optional: Cooked rice or mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.

    Mix the Sauces: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken broth, onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup, and dried thyme. Stir until well combined.

          Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
