Crock Pot Greek Style Chicken

I am telling you... sometimes, your husband just makes such an awesome dinner that you remember once again why you married him... his caring and thoughtful side. Check out this delicious recipe he made in the crock pot. It was a risk, you know sometimes chicken breasts come out quite dry from the crock pot, but this time they were super moist.... and oh.... they made the house smell so nice coming home after a long day at work. I love you Brenty!
