Tips/Tricks/Notes

The original name I found this recipe under was "Parmesan Chicken", but I decided to rename it due to the fact that the parmesan cheese isn't even tasted.  The mushroom and onion flavours jump out more then the parmesan.  I used only 3 chicken breasts since there are only 2 of us in the house and therefore 6 would be way too much food.  I did however, leave all the other ingredients the same as we always enjoy lots of rice!

My only suggestion is to not over cook this!  I cooked this on low for almost 9 hours and found the chicken was a little dry.  Overall, it wasn't the best slow-cooker recipe I have tried so far.  The chicken was nothing spectacular, just chicken, but I will probably make it again as the rice was a big hit in the house!
