    Can’t believe how simple this is. That’s why I love my crockpot – just throw everything in, wait a while, and it’s ready to go. I used to cook my chicken in the oven until I discovered you can just toss it in the crockpot and it comes out great. Haven’t cooked chicken in the oven since 🙂

    I’ll definitely be giving this recipe a try soon!

    I made this tonight and it was wonderful. The whole family liked it. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. Easy and tastes great! I also made a fried rice recipe from Pinterest to go along with it.

    Definitely will make again.

    What size Crockpot do you use- Do you layer the Chicken.

      Hi Patricia ~ 5 – 7 quart crockpots work great for this recipe, and laying the chicken flat {not layering} works best. Hope that helps! 🙂

        Hi Heidi! If I use half the ingredients, do I alter the cooking time?

    Just made this last night and it was AWESOME! I couldn’t find plain Pineapple Preserves, so used a mix of Pineapple Apricot and Orange Marmalade. Delicious!!

    Sounds great but no liquid at first? Chicken won’t stick to the crock? Won’t the chicken dry out? Sounds delish otherwise

    Reply

      Hi Linda ~ no water is required in the crockpot with the chicken… it will end up cooking in its own juices. Hope that helps! 😉

    How do you cook the chicken? With water in the crockpot?

      Hi Emily ~ you won’t need to add any water… the chicken will cook in its own juices that are released. Hope that helps! 😉

        What would happen if I didn’t drain the juices after 3 hours? I’m wondering because I usually throw everything in and not worry about it until dinner. these recipe’s look so good and I’d like to try them all. Is it just a matter of everything being watered down maybe? Or could we get sick if I don’t? (It’s chicken so I’m nervous) Thanks!

          Hi Char ~ it’s not necessary to drain the juices… I just like to because you end up with a much thicker sauce in the end. 😉 If you aren’t around to do that, then yes… you could definitely add all ingredients at the beginning and will have a thinner sauce in the end. Hope that helps!

    Hey Heidi! Do you have any recipes with the nutritional information calculated with it? One of my children is a diabetic, and these recipes look so delicious, but I’m needing the carb and sugar content information, so I’ll know if I need to make some adjustments. Thank you!
