Harvest Chicken with Walnut Gremolata image

"This original recipe is based on a classic veal or lamb dish but made more simply in the slow cooker. To lighten it up, I used fat-free chicken broth and removed the skin and excess fat from the chicken legs. It's an elegant complete dinner that always gets compliments."

I'm a vegetarian, so I'll have to find a meatless alternative to the chicken.

I thought the chicken was a bit dry. I would suggest increasing the cooking time by a few minutes.

I found the recipe to be a bit too salty. I would recommend using less salt in the gremolata.
