This is a little something I threw together one night, and it's easy with only 4 ingredients. Cook while you are at work! Serve over yellow, white, or brown rice, or with mashed potatoes.

Pour about 1/3 of the salsa on the bottom of a slow cooker and place chicken on top. Season with salt and pepper, then add onions and garlic. Pour the remaining salsa evenly over the chicken. Cook on Low for 8 hours.
Remove chicken and shred with 2 forks. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker; mix it in with the juices and cook on High for 1 more hour.
