CROCK POT ITALIAN CHICKEN

This was so yummy and delicious, it was one of those times when you feel full but you want to keep eating.

We initially made sandwiches with this chicken but when I went back for seconds, I placed the chicken over a salad (romaine, cucumbers, and feta) drizzled with a homemade dressing** and I think it was even better!
