You'll need at least a 4-quart slow cooker to cook the whole bird. It also cooks nicely in the larger, oval-shaped cooker. This is really yummy and the rosemary gives the house a wonderful smell when you get home!
10 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 oz per)
1/2 chicken broth (low sodium)
4 (3-inch) rosemary sprigs
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Combine minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Place chicken, breast side down, in an electric slow cooker. Pour chicken broth and 1/4 cup of orange juice into crockpot. Cover with lid; cook on low heat for 7 hours. Remove chicken from slow cooker, reserving drippings.
Place drippings into a small saucepan, strain off any fat. Add the other 1/4 c orange juice and vinegar to saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 4 ounces chicken and 1/3 cup sauce).

**** I might add that I just made this in my new crockpot and it seemed like it cooked it too much. Maybe my old crockpot was not as powerful. I think 5 hours would have been plenty for a boneless chicken breast in my new crockpot!****

The original recipe on cooking light actually uses a whole chicken but this is less points and a lot easier than dealing with a whole chicken in my opinion!
