"With a full-time job and active 5-year-old, I’m known as the “Crock-Pot Queen” in my family," laughs Sharon Johannes in Ashley, Illinois. "I use my slow cookers at least twice a week…sometimes have two or three going at once with different dishes. I’ve made this recipe for years and, after making a few tweaks, it’s become a treasured favorite."

This was oh so good! I doubled the liquid and used Zesty Italian dressing. I also added some mushrooms and extra baby carrots. This is a definite keeper!

I will make this again with a few changes. It was pretty spicy, and we like a lot of pepper. I will reduce it to 1/2 teaspoon. I wonder if the salt and pepper proportions got switched. Otherwise, this was a good recipe. Make sure your chicken breasts are 6 oz as called for in the recipe. Mine were larger, so I had to cook longer and they were dry. Overall, though, an easy and tasty recipe that I will make again.

Excellent recipe. I used a little milk in the recipe for the sauce. It tasted great!

Very good and easy recipe. The carrots and rosemary combined had a sweetish/savory flavor that was very appealing.

I followed the recipe exactly. Waaaaaay too much rosemary! My family ate it but didnt like it. They are not picky eaters. I will not make this dish again.

This was so good and so easy. I only used 2 chicken breasts and dried rosemary. Next time I will cut back on the rosemary and add an extra can of beans. Served it with buttered noodles and it was a real hit!!

I love this recipe ... I added a chopped onion and minced garlic ... which gave it even more flavor.

I made this recipe with no changes. My family took one bite and wouldn't even finish it; and they aren't picky eaters.
