This was a nice chicken crockpot dish, meaning no cream of "chicken, mushroom, etc...). I used frozen chicken breasts but I may take the plunge and use some thighs to add moisture, not a fan of dark meat. I will add carrots next time instead of green beans and double the sauce. Seve over rice. Made for PAC Spring 2012.

With the time I had I chose to just through it all in our pot bring it to a boil then simer for an hour. <br/> My DH does not care for beens I chose to use carrots to this recipe.<br/><br/> Great recipe to try!
