    I'm glad you like it! I found out after posting this recipe, that my crockpot was not working properly, so I got a new one....with my new one, it only takes 3 1/2 to 4 hours on low...and doesn't get dark and beefy looking like the other comment... it is much more tender! Hope this helps!

    Chicken gets really dark and beefy. I think it would be better if simmered on the stove for 30 min or so to keep it more "chicken breasty" :) - 1/10/09

    We really liked this recipe. I added 2 table spoons of cornstarch and replaced the balsamic vinegar with soy sauce. I also used the entire can of lemon-aid. - 1/3/12

    When cooked on low for 4 hours instead of 6-8, this dish is PERFECT. Better than take out! - 9/1/11

    The family liked this one. It has a very strong lemony flavor, and was great with brown rice and broccoli. I did go with the shorter cooking time, and that was perfect. I used whole wheat flour instead of white. - 2/10/10
