Wendy's Notes:
I used a combination of boneless thighs (cut in half) and strips of boneless chicken breasts. I was unable to find Italian salad dressing mix, so instead just used the bottled Italian Spices that I had and a bit of garlic powder to sprinkle on the chicken.
I also sautéed a small pkg. of sliced mushrooms and about a cup of thin sliced green peppers (sliced lengthwise then cut in half)and added this to the chicken mix when the sauce went in for the last hour. This added a vegetable component rather than having something on the side.
I actually forgot to add the half C of chicken broth, but because of the amount of juice that the cooked chicken had created in the crock pot, the sauce was still a good consistency.
I served this over rice and it was fabulous! Highly recommend this recipe.
