What a great recipe! Followed recipe exactly. After it had been cooking for 5 hours I tasted. YUM. But instead of serving with a pasta or rice I pulled the chicken out shredded it and then added cannellini and garbanzo beans. Served in a bowl with freshly grated parmesan and fresh parsley. Amazing! Pros: Delicious Cons: No cons
Haven't made this yet but HOW MANY SERVINGS does the original recipe make? (Probably too late to find out.)
Totally worth it! Big flavors with a great result! I don't typically like slow-cooker recipes because they tend to be bland overdone and just not bold enough. This recipe is absolutely the exception! I used every ingredient asked for but prepared it a bit differently. I did not use the juice from the can of tomatoes as I know the chicken will let off a ton of juice and I wanted the sauce to be substantial not runny. The chicken cooked to perfection in about 3 hours on LOW for my slow cooker (mine runs a bit hot though.) The biggest key to slow-cooking is not overdoing the meat! When it hits 165 degrees you're good. I also took all the chicken out of the cooker along with the bay leaf and I used an immersion blender to puree some of the sauce. (Not all of it though!) I tempered in some cornstarch to help thicken the sauce and it was unbelievable! I put the chicken back in to sop up all the sauce and served it with a greek salad. So good for a slow-cooker recipe! I'm thoroughly impressed. Pros: Easy flavorful
Flavorless mess. The sauce was watery and I only added half of the wine amount. I also added more whole tomatoes then asked for in the recipe which should of made a thicker sauce. The spices were non existing. Pros: Cooks quickly Cons: Poor flavor and watery sauce
Tasty juicy and easy! I also used chicken breasts. I forgot to put in the bacon. I still thought is was great! We liked the amount of juice since we ate it over the brown rice and it balanced out. Didn't get to make the gumbo yet but it warmed up easily as a leftover.
Even the kids liked it! I used boneless chicken thighs because my kids do not like the bones. They gave this recipe 4 stars I give it 5 since they never agree on the same meal. Pros: Easy to make and yummy to eat.
I chose to add the herbs about an hour before serving and it was delicious! Used breasts instead of thighs and simmered the sauce until it was a bit thicker before adding to the chicken. Not very watery at all!
Excellent This was delicious recipe and a hit with everyone. Only problem was we did not have enough servings left to make the gumbo. Definitely will make this again.
Loved it! I used chicken breasts instead thighs because that's all I had. The recipe seemed to make a lot of juice so I spooned some of it off into a pan and thickened it with some homemade dry cream soup mix and poured it back onto the chicken. Served it with rice and it was delicious! Pros: Good flavor easy to make Cons: A little too juicy and runny
