The only thing I changed was not using the slow cooker liners as suggested in the original recipe. They are just so expensive for so few and I am unsure how safe the plastic is considering all the concern over some chemicals plastic can give off (BPA being one).
We have done this recipe several times and the kids gobble the chicken up each time so I would say it is a hit especially considering how my kids don't like to eat meat unless it is in a casserole or mixture of some sort but they will eat this. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes and then some freshly sliced apples.
Enjoy!
