Time on High: 3 to 4 hours Time on Low: 6 hours Fresh, fabulous, and easy! I love this recipe. It fits all my qualifications as a perfect dish. Its easy to prepare for a busy weekday meal and impressive enough to make for a special family dinner or to serve to guests. I have served it with a pasta, mashed potatoes, or couscous. Add a side salad and you have the perfect meal.

Something different

I made this dish last night with mashed potatoes , & it was so good! The flavors are amazing & the chicken was so tender! I will definitely make it again!

TOUGH chicken !!

The flavors in this dish are very good, but OMG, the chicken is so tough. I used chicken breasts, just like the recipe said, I cooked all the ingredients for 3 ½ hours on HIGH, just like it said. But the chicken was so tough! I will try this again with chicken thighs because the flavors are very good.

Delicious!!!

This is so good! I've made this twice. Kudos to the person that thought of this!! Like stated on the recipe, it's an easy weeknight dinner, yet perfect for company. I did sear the chicken, but not sure if it's absolutely necessary. I think after cooking for awhile, crock pot chicken will naturally be tender and fall apart. Yummy with bow tie pasta and so creamy and tasty!! I would also put a little more broth and add a little more half and half. I normally don't rate recipes but couldn't stand to see this one with no reviews.

Due to gradual and even heating of a slow cooker, recipes featured on this site can be cooked in a range of slow cooker sizes. Most recipes can be accommodated in a slow cooker that is either one quart smaller or one quart larger than specified. If using a smaller sized slow cooker, please use caution when preparing your meal to prevent over filling. For smaller sauces and dips that call for 3 quarts or less, it is not recommended to alter the unit size.
