Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken

I understand that bones add flavor, but there were so many joints in the final product! Not good for me or my toddler granddaughter. Next time, will use boneless thighs and add another can of tomatoes.

Haven't made this yet, but HOW MANY SERVINGS does the original recipe make? (Probably too late to find out.)

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!

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

Amazing with a few modifications! I used double the garlic, chicken drumsticks instead of chicken thighs, and red wine instead of white. I cooked for about 5 hours on low. The result: super tender chicken and a sauce I can't stop eating out of the pan with a spoon! My recommendations: - Take off the skins of whatever cut of chicken you use, to reduce the fat that will be rendered out into the sauce anyway. - Do use the juice from the canned tomatoes, because the liquid will help cover the chicken and braise it. You can always reduce it later. - After the chicken is done, take the chicken out. Use a colander to strain out the tomato/garlic/chicken pieces from your sauce, and then put the sauce in a pot on the stove. Bring to a boil and reduce by 1/3 to 1/2, whatever your patience level is. I also added a cornstarch slurry (2 tbs cornstarch with 2 tbs water, whisked together) to thicken the sauce further. Add all vegetation back to the sauce. You probably don't have to strain out the tomatoes etc, but that's what I did. Pros: Delicious, protein, flavor Cons: Fatty

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.

This dish was really yummy and very easy! I used a cheap cooking wine, so I think next time I will try a better wine. I served it over brown rice with some red potatoes on the side. Pros: Tender chicken Cons: lots of sauce, a little bland

Easy prep I thought this was good. Not great, but I didn't have fennel seed and maybe that would have pulled everything together and I used a cheaper bottle of wine. I will make again, but will shred up the chicken, thicken up the sauce and put of polenta next time. It's worth a shot, and I think the recipe has a lot of potential so give it a whirl. Pros: Easy prep Cons: Could use more flavor

Sunday dinner! This recipe is great. I followed the recipe and it came out wonderfully. I served it with steamed broccoli and quinoa. Make sure you have bread for the juices! It filled the house with a delicious aroma and the chicken falls off the bone. 6 hours seemed like more than enough time, 5 probably would have been fine. I garnished it with parsley and Parmesan. This make a perfect Sunday dinner, I'd like to try it with a side of pasta. Pros: Bacon Cons: None

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: DeliciousCons: No cons

excellent I made this exactly as described using a dry sherry for the wine. It was fantastic! I served it with parmasean balsamic quinoa and it was fabulous - definitely in the "favorites" section! Pros: easy Cons: i hate cutting onions!

We loved this recipe.We really enjoyed this recipe. I made it just for my boyfriend and I, and we love leftovers. We will eat it all week and I'll freeze a couple of portions. I made the recipe as directed, with no changes. The chicken fell off the bone, and the bacon (and cooking in the bacon fat) added so much flavor. Delish, and we will make it again! We served it with brown rice and grilled veggies (broccoli and cauliflower).Pros: Yummy, healthy, easy

LOVED this recipe, but made a few changes... I made this recipe for a girls' night and it was a huge success. There were no leftovers! Here are the changes I made: I used Red wine instead of White, adds more flavor. The bacon only produced 1 tbsp of fat so I used a tbsp of butter (could use heart friend olive oil too) Added 2 cups of mushroom. I should have added some celery and green pepper. I used 15 boneless/skinless thighs, could not find the bone in thighs. I cut the thighs in 3 pieces and browned them in a little butter and seasoned them with salt and pepper before putting them in the slow cooker. Next time I would lightly coat the chicken in flour before browning so the sauce thickens up better. I used no salt added tomatoes since there was so much salt in the recipe. I also added 1 tsp dried basil and 1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes. and upped the garlic to 6-7 cloves. Will definitely make this again and again. It is going on my go to list. Pros: Easy to make, very flavourful Cons: not enough vegies in the sauce

Delicious! This dish is great. I personally do not think there is one thing wrong with this recipe. The flavors go together so well. I made steps 1 and 2 the night before and just stored in the fridge overnight. The next day I just put everything into the crockpot and cooked on low for 8 hours. I wouldn't change a thing. The next night there were plenty of leftovers and I just made them into a pizza. I added cheese, basil, oregano, banana peppers, roasted red peppers & mushrooms. Cooked on 400* for about 12 mins or so and there you go...another great meal that didn't even take like last night's dish! Very versatile dish! A must try!! Pros: Terrific flavor and plenty of leftovers. Cons: None

Pretty bland This was very easy to make and overall pretty good, but it was rather bland. I livened it up by adding some hot sauce, garlic powder and a dash of lemon juice. Served it over some whole wheat noodles and it was an easy, healthy dinner. I didn't mind all of the sauce. I am eating it almost as a stew for lunch today. Pros: Chicken was very tender Cons: Didn't have a lot of flavor

Very Bland Although this was very easy to prepare it was incredibly bland. I would not make it again. Pros: Easy to prepare

Great Chicken Dish I'm always looking for easy slow cooker recipies and found this in my latest copy of Eating Well. My husband and I love it and will keep it as a go-to dish. I made the suggested gumbo the next day but probably would not make that again. It was rather bland. Pros: Easy and flavorful. Cons: The make-after gumbo was just "ok".

Wine & Tomato Braised Chicken This chicken is so wonderful and easy to prepare. As suggested, I prepared everything the night before and turned on my crock pot on in the morning. When I got home from work, I was afraid we would not have dinner since my better half had already eaten half. We ate the chicken and juice over orzo, therefore it did not seem like too much juice. There were not enought leftovers for the gumbo, but look forward to making it next time.

DeliciousI loved this dish, as did my hard-to-please husband. I made a swap and used boneless,skinless thighs. Tasted delicious, chicken was extremely tender.Someone asked about the amount of juice...I agree it is juicy. But, if you are making the Braised Gumbo with your leftovers, the extra juice is great stock for the gumbo, so I wouldn't try to lessen it. I made the gumbo (equally delicious!!) and saved 2 cups of the tomato/onion mixture, plus all the extra juice. Flavorful!

A keeper My family loved it, even the 3 and 2 yr old gobbled it down. As the other reviewer said my only con is that the sauce was too runny. Otherwise it was delicious. Pros: Easy and Delicious Cons: Sauce was too runny

Chicken braised with wine and tomato Any suggestions to cut down on juice that made it a bit runny? It was absolutely delicious though. Pros: Very flavorful Cons: A lot of juice

ExcellentThis 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.

Very Good and Easy to make We had this for dinner last night. It is in this month's magazine. It was very tasty. I made it with boneless chicken breasts rather than thighs. Served it with brown rice and roasted broccoli. I have now turned it into the gumbo that was suggested. It is also very good. I will add hot sauce to the gumbo to give it some heat and added flavor.
