Crockpot Chicken with Butternut Squash, Pears and Cranberries and Roasted Brussels

An awesome fall recipe or comfort meal. I paired this with roasted shaved brussels and it pretty much tasted like a Thanksgiving meal. I always roast brussels with bacon fat and/or actually add bacon to it. But I have made this recipe a lot, it's an easy crockpot chicken meal if you are ever running short on time to cook.
