3. Arrange in Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture in the slow cooker.
4. Add Liquids: Pour the Marsala wine and chicken broth over the chicken. Ensure that the liquid covers the chicken sufficiently.
5. Set Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
