Thyme, garlic, a little orange juice, and a splash of balsamic vinegar flavor these moist, fork-tender chicken breasts.

-
6 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, crushed
-
3 to 4 pounds whole chicken breasts (with bone), halved and skinned
-
1/4 cup orange juice

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1.
Sprinkle garlic and thyme over chicken pieces. Place chicken in a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Pour orange juice and vinegar over chicken.
2.
Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
