1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
3. Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chicken broth, then pour over the chicken and onions.
