Slow Cooker Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I saw this recipe on a slow cooker facebook group but I think it could go either oven or slow cooker.  Since it's hot, I'll be using the slow cooker for now, but once it cools down I'll give it a go in the oven.

Ingredients

Chicken breasts
Ham
Feta
Sundried Tomato
Mustard
Spinach
Mushroom
Twine/chicken ties
French Onion Soup Mix
1/4 Cup White Wine
1/4 Cup Water
Baby potatoes

Lay the chicken breasts flat, smooth side facing up.  Slice them vertically from the top and then horizontally inside the breast, kind of like an upside down T to make a pocket.  Line this pocket with a slice of ham to shore up the inside so that the filling doesn't fall out during the cooking process.

Stuff the pockets with the filling then tie them shut in two to three locations to keep them from falling open.

Brown them in a pan then transfer to the crock pot with the soup mix, water, and wine and surround with baby potatoes.  Cook on low for 4 hours, basting several times with the juice.
