Lightly spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cut the chicken breasts into large chunks (about 2-3 inches each) and set them aside.
In the crock pot, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, diced tomatoes, and white vinegar.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and salt to the crock pot. Stir well to combine with the wet ingredients.
Add the chicken breast chunks to the crock pot and gently toss to coat them in the spice mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth and mix lightly to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, taste the vindaloo and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you'd like a thicker sauce, remove the lid and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes to reduce the liquid.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving, if desired.
Serve hot with steamed basmati rice, if using, for a complete meal.
