"This is a recipe from one of Gooseberry Patch's newest cookbooks. Easy and tasty, it's perfect for the coming autumn days. This is recommended to be served over hot, cooked thin spaghetti. I haven't tried this yet, but wanted the recipe here so I can prepare it soon."

Dry, dry, dry. Followed recipe exactly. Sorry - we won't be making this again. I ended up throwing about a pound of chicken out.

This is my first bad review. But to be honest it might have been my fault. The sauce kind of disappeared so I started adding more and more wine, probably not a good idea. We did not like the taste at all and sauce was real watery and chicken overcooked....but I have a feeling it was me, not the recipe.

Outstanding! Extremely easy to prepare, fork-tender when it came out of the crock pot, delicious flavor--could not ask for a better crock pot chicken recipe. I used whole boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of chicken pieces, omitted the zucchini, used chicken broth instead of white wine, and just didn't have any spaghetti in the house to serve it over. It was so good on its own, the lack of pasta was not noticed! I am looking forward to making this one again!
