When I moved into my first apartment during college, I sent out a little note with a request to all of my family and friends asking them to send me their three favorite recipes. One of Mommys’ dearest friends, Shari, shared her Chicken Marbella Recipe from The Silver Palate Cookbook. I thought I would put a twist on things and turn it into a crockpot recipe. I’m so excited to share it with you!!!
