Crock Pot Chicken in a Marsala Herb Sauce

So John and I just recently came home from our wonderful vacation in Maine. I know this is probably weird, but the two things I want most when vacation is over are a clean house and a home cooked meal. There is just something comforting about the combo of the two after time away.

I recently purchased a package of bone-in chicken breasts from the butcher, wrapped them individually, and threw them in the freezer. I don't know if I have mentioned this here before but we are SO limited on freezer space it's ridiculous. I want a deep chest freezer for my birthday for the garage... it's all I want. So needless to say, these chicken breasts are taking up a lot of precious space. I decided I had to make a dent in the stash.



I had jam packed my first day back from vacation with appointments so I figured why not throw something in the crock pot and come home to that home cooked meal I have been desiring? Enter this dinner. John and I both loved this. The whole house smelt amazing and the chicken was very moist and flavorful. I was impressed with how nicely the chicken looked too- it looked golden, as if it baked in the oven. The sauce it makes is also great. The sauce definitely has a marsala taste to it but the herb sauce mix gives it a little extra pizzazz. I almost wish I had made mashed potatoes instead of oven roasted because it would have been a great gravy on the mashed potatoes. This is definitely a winner- we both loved it and it took little to no effort.
