I made this tonight & it came out so good! I’m going to try more of your recipes bc I’m impressed.
Heidi says
Aww ~ thank you, Rachel! So glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Kourtney says
Hi! Would the sauce burn if I added it with the chicken and cooked it the whole time instead of the last hr?
Meghan says
I don’t have the 5 in 1 machine but I do have a crockpot. Am I still not supposed to put any liquid with the chicken as your recipe suggests?
Heidi says
Hi Meghan,
No water is required if you’re using a traditional Crock Pot. Just be sure keep an eye on the time, as you may need to lengthen it depending on the size of your chicken breast.
Hope this helps ~ Heidi
