Good and healthy, Guest Cindi

I'm always looking for low fat recipes with lots of flavor, and this recipe is just right. I love the low sodium content too, since so many crockpot recipes use canned ingredients that are unhealthy. The flavor on this one is spot on. I used chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken and it was ready in six hours. Yummy.
