Slow Cooker Roast Chicken

Being a new mommy can really limit your time. I find that my princess is a little more independent in the mornings but by the time afternoon comes around, shes usually in the mood for a little (a Lot) more attention. For this reason, i have recently come to love my slow cooker, I can get dinner going in the morning and in the afternoon i usually donmt have much more to do than slice some bread and set the table. It's definitely a better solution than the prepackaged food or delivery that I had been relying on for the first few weeks.
I recently tried out this recipe for roast chicken in the slow cooker and it turned out great! I had been planning on using the leftover chicken for a stew the next day, but there was none.
