Slow Cooker Chicken Hot Pot | Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes

The best thing about this time of year is being able to enjoy hearty, soul warming winter foods like this delicious Chicken Hot Pot.

Chicken and vegetables simmer slowly in a mild mustard and herb sauce. The bacon adds flavor and keeps the chicken moist.

There is nothing better than setting this going in the morning, knowing that you are coming home to a warm and aroma filled house, and a really yummy dinner, at the end of a long cold day.

This Cuisinart programmable 4 quart slow cooker will cook your dinner and keep it warm for you until you are ready to serve.  It's like an extra pair of hands in the the kitchen!  And when it's time to tidy up at the end of the meal, the Cuisinart's retractable cord stows itself for easy handling and storage - what a great idea!
