   It really doesnt matter what size jars or cans you use.

    Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker on top of the sauce and gently spoon some sauce over the breasts to slightly color them.

    I usually forget to defrost my chicken in time so I just put the partially thawed ones in the pot and they work great.

    I dont really care for dark meat but Im sure that chicken thighs would be fantastic as well.
