Recipe: Curried Chicken with Peaches

This recipe is a personal favorite. I love coming home to a crockpot full of well flavored chicken!  The curry flavoring blends nicely with the flavors of the peaches and the raisins.  The recipe also generates a wonderful thick sauce.

Ingredients:
3-4 Chicken Breasts
1/8 teaspoon salt
