Can I make this in the Slow Cooker?

Yes! However, your cook times will be significantly increased. Chicken does best on low temperatures in the crockpot. So, you will need to cook the chicken for 6-8 hours on low.

Basically, other than the times, you would follow the recipe above step by step if making it in the slow cooker.

About 30 minutes before it is time to eat, I would do step four in the recipe above.
