Chicken can be tricky in the slow cooker, especially boneless, skinless chicken breasts.  You need to make sure that it doesn't get over cooked and dry.  Chicken thighs are much more slow cooker friendly but I had breasts in my freezer so that's what I went with.

I used two large chicken breasts and cut each into 3 pieces so that I had sizes and thicknesses that were similar.  Boneless, skinless breasts need only a few hours in the slow cooker so if you aren't available for a longer period of time you might want to use thighs.

The flavors in this dish are amazing.  I made this on a day when I was home but busy putting away all my Christmas decorations.  The house smelled amazing by the time we were finishing up.  A quick stir fry of some veggies, a quick heat of a quinoa/brown rice mixture and dinner was served.
