I love using my slow cooker (crock pot)...whatever your favorite name or it, its great! Just throw in the ingredients and walk away. Whoever invented it must have been a genius! There are some things I always do, though. One is to always, always, brown your meat first. It seals in the juices and adds color to the dish. That's what I did for his recipe, too. You'll see it says to just put the chicken breasts in the crock pot, but please don't. It really does make a difference in flavor, color and texture of the meat.
