My husband loves these type of dishes and he loves chicken, will need to make this the next time I make chicken,

Would you think it would work in a crockpot?

Jlv: You have to saute most of the ingredients anyway and you have to make the sauce separately so this recipe seems to not work well in a crock pot. However, you can do the chicken in the crockpot with vegetables and use it for your stock.
