Wondering if dried herbs would hold up better in a slow cooker.

Not a lot of flavor, I used chicken thighs because I thought the meat would be more flavorful but unfortunately it wasn't. My kids wouldn't eat it they said "mom this isn't chicken" it just wasnt right for my family. Im making a cassrole out of the left over chicken today, maybe that will be better

Wow, this recipe was fantastic. Not a lot of prep time but dee-licious when it's done slow cooking. Perfect for a slow cooker. We used fresh frozen tomatoes from last summer's garden that had been peeled and cooked with basil, and I grated parmesan reggiano cheese over the top before serving. We'll definitely make it again.

I made this using boneless, skinless chicken breasts and served it over a bed of rice. It was a HUGE hit with my family!
