This was great. The gravy was very nice and just the right consistancy. I substituted 1T vinegar and enough apple juice to make 1/2 cup for the white wine. I also used button mushrooms. Flavor was great and I couldn't tell I didn't use wine:)

We liked this, a very nice subtle flavor. The sauce was (as another reviewer said) just the right consistency, and frankly I was amazed that it thickened up so nicely - I've never made a sauce like that in the crock pot. I also added in some chicken thighs. ETA: I just pulled the leftovers from the freezer and reheated them last night. Delicious! No special prep before freezing, I just dumped into freezer safe containers. Then I defrosted in my fridge. I reheated on low for about 3 minutes, high for one minute, drained off the sauce and chunks, and finished heating the chicken on high for 2 minutes. Perfect over some fresh white rice!

The chicken was very tender but I thought it needed some more flavor. It was a quick and easy dish to make and smelled great.

Loved this! It's an easy company-worthy Crockpot recipe. The sauce comes out great; not too thick and not too watery. Awesome flavor! I used a combination of boneless breasts and thighs. The white wine (Chardonnay) added a nice flavor, but I'm sure you could sub a good apple juice in it's place if you needed to. I'll make this again; thanx!
