I agree with Jenny, this was a great meal. the chicken was very tender. I added some spices, and also a pinch of cinnamon. it was a great surprise flavor. delicious!

This was great and the chicken came out so moist. It could use a little more seasoning, so I added half of a packet of taco seasoning to the crockpot to add a little more flavor. I shredded the leftover chicken and turned it into chicken tacos the next night...awesome!!
