Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken

Recipe #294721 | 28 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: SmoochTheCook

I found this recipe on the Betty Crocker site and decided to give it a whirl. I changed things around just a tad, but nothing monumental. The original recipe called for salsa, but all I had was picante sauce, which turned out to be terrific! The squash, while perfect for my taste, turns out very soft. My son said, "Mommy, can eat just the squash?" High marks for the kid who complained as I was cutting it for the dish.
