chick curry2As many of you are putting your slow cookers away for the season. I am putting mine to work. It is T-ball season around here, which means practice twice a week from 5:30 – 7:00. Some times I feed the kids “dinner” at 4:30. Sometimes we come home to eat something already made. This is where the slow cooker comes in.

I just tried this chicken recipe and thought I would share it with you. Chicken on the bone, as we call it, is a usually a hit in my house. I am delighted because it is often the economical choice too.
