Recipe Introduction
The following recipe I converted to the crockpot...I'll give the
original and then the converting steps. (My family loved this! I
served it with mashed potatoes and gravy and a salad...you could
easily substitute rice or couscous for the mashed.)
The crockpot version came out beautifully tender and juicy which
was a milestone for me as I tend to overcook boneless, skinless
chicken breasts in the crockpot.Enjoy!
