Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala

"I use boneless chicken breast for this healthy, flavorful dish. Serve over rice or potatoes to soak up all the delicious sauce! I like to serve this with rice and sauteed spinach. If you're cooking for two, you might be tempted to halve the recipe, but don't; you'll be happy to have leftovers!"
