Marinating the chicken in Italian dressing, garlic, and spices and then cooking in a Crockpot makes this dish super easy to make. While the chicken is cooking, the flavors blend and the sauce is delicious. You could also make this in a slow cooker if you prefer. Just put the chicken and other ingredients in a slow cooker and turn on low for 6 hours. This is a very forgiving recipe. You can use whatever Italian dressing you like or have on hand. I use a lot of garlic, but you can use it more or less, depending on your taste.
