2. In 5 to 6 quart slow cooker, place onion slices.
3. Arrange chicken over onion.
4. Separate garlic into cloves; do not peel cloves. Place garlic cloves around chicken.

Notes

This sounds like a lot of garlic, but the garlic flavor dissipates during the long cooking. Plan to serve the cooked garlic with another part of the meal. It is delicious on bread or mashed potatoes.
