This is officially a winner. I opted for the low setting and cooked it from 10:30am to 6:00pm. The grocery was out of fennel bulb so I omitted that ingredient and just sprinkled it with a few fennel seeds on top. I used regular chicken stock and not low sodium. Wow, this was much better than I expected!! the chicken comes out melt in your mouth, that's the biggest surprise, and the flavor is great. Everyone at our house loved it, definitely 5 stars and we will definitely make it again and probably double the recipe as we have a large sized slow cooker and can eat the leftovers the next day.
