I want to use chicken breasts, what's a good recipe to use in a crock pot? What vegetables work good to cook in there for chicken?
I favor creamy dishes rather than tomato-y ones. Also don't suggest beer or wine, thanks!
Don't leave out details like how long to cook it, I would be cooking on low.What is a good recipe for crock pot chicken?
My family likes this one:

Chicken Marsala
Ingredients:
* 3 Tbs. all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp. salt, plus more, to taste
* 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste
* 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, each about 6 oz.
* 3 Tbs. unsalted butter
* 3 Tbs. olive oil
* 4 shallots, minced
* 1/4 lb. pancetta, diced
* 2 1/4 cups Marsala
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 2 tsp. dried oregano
* 1/2 lb. cremini or button mushrooms, brushed clean, stems removed
and caps cut into slices 1/4 inch thick
* 1/2 cup mascarpone or heavy cream
* 3 Tbs. finely chopped fresh chives
Directions:
On a plate, stir together the flour, the 1 tsp. salt and the 1/2 tsp. pepper. One at a time, turn the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, gently shaking off the excess.
In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 1/2 Tbs. of the butter with 1 1/2 Tbs. of the olive oil. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken breasts and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Add the shallots and pancetta to the pan and saut茅 over medium-high heat until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of the Marsala, increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, until the wine is reduced and thickened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the broth and oregano and return to a boil.
Transfer the chicken to a slow cooker and add the Marsala mixture. Cover and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the chicken is opaque throughout and very tender, about 2 1/2 hours on high or 5 hours on low. About 30 minutes before the chicken is done, in a large fry pan over high heat, melt the remaining 1 1/2 Tbs. butter with the remaining 1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil. Add the mushrooms and saut茅 until the edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mascarpone, bring to a boil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the mushroom mixture and the remaining 1/4 cup Marsala to the slow cooker. Cover and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes more.
Spoon the mushrooms and sauce over the chicken, garnish with the chives and serve immediately. Serves 6.
Here are a few of my favorites:
