My family is just loving the testing we're doing for the Slow Cooker Club! We found another "keeper" here for sure! I used boneless chicken breasts instead of the called for bone-in since that is what I had on hand. Once heated and bubbling on high, I lowered the temperature to low for the final 3 hours, turning it back up to high when adding the peas at the end of cooking. This recipe makes great leftovers too. My husband took it for lunch the next day and enjoyed every morsel!
