Tammy,
That is a great tip and I meant to include that in my post. My slow-cooker is so small that there’s not enough head room for the lid to fit back down over the chicken if I elevate it. I don’t mind it stewing at all. If I want to make sure the chicken will remain intact and not fall apart, I just roast it in the oven. This slow-cooker method is a great way to prepare chicken for casseroles, tacos, chicken salad, etc. Plus, we like to eat stewed chicken. Granny used to stew chickens a lot. 🙂

Jackie, if you don’t have a rack, you could ball up 3 or 4 balls of aluminum foil, depending on the size of your slow-cooker, and put them on the bottom of your slow-cooker and place the chicken on top. That is if you didn’t want the chicken to stew in its broth. 🙂

Belle,

You are exactly right! Some folks eat with their eyes. I just wanted drive home the point that this chicken is delicious and don’t miss out on a good meal just because the chicken came up short in the looks department! 🙂
