    Will the germs ever leave my house?  I'm using my Clorox wipes religiously and still, we are sick.  Now it's the flu.  My son had a fever over 102º for four days last week, now my oldest has it.  They have missed so much school and have tons of makeup work.  ?  Calgon take me away...

    Maybe we should have gotten a flu shot!

      You know I'm loving this chicken thigh dinner Karen! And a meal for the slow cooker too makes it a total win-win in my book.

      Love the idea of the Med flavors. 2 questions. Are you using fresh herbs or dried. How would I adjust the cooking time if I used boneless breast? Many thanks.

        Gail, I used dried herbs and I think the chicken breasts would take the same time to cook in the slow cooker. Hope it works out for you!

      Hello! I'm going to make this on Thursday (looks amazing!). Quick question. Do you put the red pepper in at the 3 1/2 hour mark (for a total of 4 hours on low) or at the 4 hour mark (for a total of 4 1/2 hours on low). Thanks so much!
