Easy Chicken in a Crock Pot

Submitted by SUSIE IN MISSOURI

"This is one easy delicious crock pot recipe for a whole chicken. I do cut the chicken in half and it still looks like chicken, instead of pieces. I also wanted one that had chicken flavor but not other flavors that would clash with other recipes for which I would use the left over chicken."
