    This is a great recipe. I actually got it from Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes -- very glad you posted it! Thanks!

    Excellent recipe! I used regular balsamic vinegar and baked it in a Dutch oven for 3 hours at 275 degrees. I forgot the tomatoes, but the feta and olives in the orzo are nice salty/tangy bites that cut the richness of the chicken. I think next time I will try cooking the orzo directly in the broth left over from cooking the chicken. Thanks!
