Crockpot Italian Chicken and Vegetables

This is one of those weeks. You know the ones. The week where you have something going on every night and the last thing you have time for is to come home and cook a full meal. So, once again, the slower cooker (crockpot) to the rescue. Ten minutes of prep time in the morning before leaving home, and you can arrive home to a wonderful, delicious dinner.
