1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup chicken broth
½ cup white cooking wine
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
⅛ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf

Place the onion, pepper, and garlic in the bottom of your crock pot.
Place the chicken pieces on top.
