How long should chicken pieces cook in a slow cooker for?

I want to make a meal in my crock pot with chicken breast pieces, potatoes and vegetables. I want to know how long it will take the chicken to cook?

1. If the chicken is boneless, it will take four to six hours on low, but you can cook it longer than that if you have sufficient liquid to keep it from drying out. If it has bones, it will take eight hours on low, but can go for as long as 10. Again, you'll need some type of liquid.
2. Depends on how hot your slow cooker gets, the last one I bought is very hot and I can cook a whole chicken in 4 hours or so, the older crockpot would take at least 7 hours. You need to experiment while you are at home one day to see how hot it gets.
3. On high I would say 4-6 hours - on low I would aim for at least 8-10 hours.
