O my GOODNESS. This was awesome and not high in calories either. Can't wait to make it again. Very flavorful. I served it with wild rice and peas. YUMMY!

I have made this with both fresh and dried ingredients. To get the best flavor, you should go with fresh. The difference is amazing. I made this for a church dinner and served it with rice, and everyone, including the kids, loved it.

Wonderful gourmet lemon taste. I made it in our sun oven and it turned out great. We'll make this again.

It sounds perfect! Question: I don't have a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker, did not know know they cam that small. Can I use a larger one?

Why not use oregano istead of the thyme and make it Greek chicken?

My husband really liked the sauce and he's hard to please. This was a great dish to put in the cooker before church and finish up when we got home. We'll make it again!
