- Set Crock on high and cook for 4 hours, I basted every so often. Being sure that none of the preserves stayed on top of the chicken to get dried out.
- After 4 hours, remove chicken allow to cool, debone and deskin, chopping into chunks.
- While chicken is cooling mix cornstarch and water add to crock, this will not thicken alot but just enough to give it body.

Made this last night for dinner. Hubby and I loved it so much. So much so that I saved some of the stock/gravy to put in the freezer, so I just have to add more chicken for a quick dinner. Thanks. -
We did not enjoy this recipe. We found it too sweet for our liking (perhaps it was the preserves). Glad to see that another person enjoyed it and my comments are in no way an offense to the Chef. Thanks for posting and I'll try another of your recipes. -
Wow, really easy and really good. My 5 year old loved it! Definately a keeper.

I live in a small rural town in central California. I am lucky enough to live and work in my community. I am the site coordinator for an after school program where we enroll over 100 students. My motto is there are no bad kids only bad parents. I have one daughter that is now in her second year of college and a husband that is the worse critic when it comes to food. He either likes it or doesn't no in between. I have been at the zaar for over a year now and continue to go back and forth on buying a membership, right now I'm going for buying. Trying to convince myself that it is only $2.00 a month and I could clean up that nonmember cookbook and get it organized so I might be able to find something :)I'm kinda a pack rat when it comes to food, I always have back ups and sometimes back ups for the back ups. My husband always tells everyone if there is a national disaster come to our house shirley will be able to feed an army. So yall are welcome too :)Edited to add i joined 12-31-06 my Christmas prsent to myself!
