Chicken And Wild Rice Slow Cooker Dinner

---

I found this on a card supplied at the butcher's counter at harris teeter grocery. the only change i made was to omit the marjoram leaves due to personal preference but i've added it back to the recipe as an option here. if you don't have bone-in chicken breasts you can use bone-in chicken thighs (about 10 thighs or 3 1/2 lbs). remember to remove the skin of the chicken and any really visible fat deposits.
