Recipe - Crockpot Chicken Breasts

Since many of you have been after me to provide more crockpot recipes, especially for chicken, here's one that your family will love that uses low fat skinless, boneless chicken breast meat.

If your family prefers darker meat, or if you want to save money, you may substitute skinless, boneless thighs. I have also used turkey thighs for this recipe with good results, and turkey parts are a great way to get high quality protein for less!
