Drunken Chicken

This is a chicken dish that requires a little forethought to remember the marinade time, but it is well worth it.  Fresh or ginger powder can be used, it is your choice.  Keep in mind, chicken breast dries easily, and it will do so even though it is cooking in a liquid, so try not to allow it to cook too long.  If it does, it is still tasty, but it will dry out.  The instructions show use of a crock pot liner.  While not necessary, it does make clean up much nicer.  If not using one, still spray the inside of your crock pot pan with non stick cooking spray.
