Begin by zesting the oranges and lemons into a small bowl, ensuring to avoid the bitter white pith. Squeeze the juice from the zested oranges and lemons into the bowl, mixing it with the zest.
In a separate bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, sealing the bag and gently massaging the chicken to coat it evenly.
Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
After marinating, transfer the chicken to the crockpot, pouring any remaining marinade over the top. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers around the chicken for added flavor and color.
Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Once done, carefully remove the chicken from the crockpot and place it on a serving platter.
Drizzle the cooking juices over the chicken and garnish with additional fresh herbs and citrus slices for an appealing presentation.
Serve with a side of fluffy rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
