Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken into the slow cooker. In a medium bowl, stir together the garlic, onion, bell peppers, diced tomatoes, rosemary and thyme. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken. Place a bay leaf in the center. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low.
It is completely safe to cook an entire chicken in the slow cooker as long as it is not frozen. Also, I recommend cooking it on high heat the entire time. If you do want to use low heat, then begin with an hour at high heat before switching the setting to low heat. Low heat: 1 hour at high heat, then 7-8 hours on low.
