yummy! How pretty and colorful. I have a Turkey Roast in my crockpot right now. Can’t wait for supper.
Yes, my mouth is now watering, Judy. I can almost smell that chicken. Mmmm…..
You inspired me today. I am creating a soup recipe…not so hard to do. Doesn’t this chilly weather just call for food like this?

Have a great weekend.

I am going to try this next time I cook chicken in my slow cooker. I can smell it clear over the hill.
Sure smells good.
I have never tried making a whole chicken in the crockpot. I’ve always roasted them in the oven. I’m going to have to try this recipe
Looks great!

This looks great! Thanks for sharing!! Once I have a kitchen again I’ll have to give it a try!
Looks great!! I would like to use boneless, skinless chicken breast. Do you think that would work also?
Hi Susan, I am sure it would work with chicken breasts, too.
That looks so tender.
Definitely going to try this. I’ve been looking for a good crock-pot chicken recipe. Mine are always kind of bland :/
Did the 8 hours on low version yesterday. Took to “remove the skin” route and cut the honey in half (trying really hard to be good). Used some of the juice to make some couscous with browned green onions and mushrooms. It was a splendid dinner and was so very trouble-free. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Tom, So happy you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment. Have a great weekend.
Made this tonight – used 2 packs of skinless boneless turkey tenderloins so 2.5 lbs. Very yummy! Thanks
