Recipe Notes
This makes a generous serving. To shave a couple of WW points, eat a smaller portion, which is what I did.To prevent your chicken from drying out, you'll want to check for doneness. Many of today's slow cookers are much hotter than they used to be. My chicken was done in about 3.5 hours on LOW!9*SmartPoints (Green plan)2*SmartPoints (Blue plan)2*SmartPoints (Purple plan)9*PointsPlus (Old plan)
