A friend of mine passed along this quick and easy crock pot recipe a month or so ago. I finally got around to trying it and it was delicious. The chicken was tender and flavorful and was definitely a crowd pleaser. My preschooler gobbled it up and my husband, who normally isn’t a huge fan of crock pot meals, gave it two-thumbs up. Best of all, it was a no-brainer recipe that didn’t require me slaving away in the kitchen at the witching hour when the baby is always starving to nurse and Madeline is starving for Mommy’s attention. Instead, the chicken was forgotten and left simmering in a slow cooker, filling the kitchen with a savory aroma. When dinnertime arrived, all I had to do was plop it on a plate with some penne pasta and green beans. Delicious!
