    This is a great recipe. I used chicken broth for the water, left off the celery since hubby doesn't like it. I also added chopped onions and used real garlic instead of the powder. What makes this recipe great is that you and add or take away ingrediants you don't like. - 5/22/09

    This is a good basic recipe. Just wipe a bit of oil in a pan and saute the chicken, onion and celery first(can do the night before and refrigerate the whole thing until ready to add to crock). I'll bring out the flavor. - 6/22/08

    Possibly would make again. This is for the hard core dieter. No flavor at all. The veggies were great, just the broth was bland - 1/21/08

    to add more flavor you could add 4 chicken bouillon cubes to the 4 cups of water or you could use chicken broth in place of the water or you could even use fat free cream of chicken , mushroom , or celery soup. - 5/22/09

    This was very good - made it with chicken broth instead of water, added minced garlic. Next time I will make it with less chicken or double the vegetables. - 6/20/09

    This is a great basic recipe that can easily be adjusted to each persons tastes and needs. I actually had this on the stove this morning before coming into SP. I haven't decided yet which direction to take it. Do we want a thick and creamy stew today? Sweet and sour? I agree with BAYYY and saute 1st - 6/22/08

    Good base to start with or by itself; definitely use stock instead of all water unless you want bland. I believe adding uncooked rice (no more than 1-1/2 cups dry rice) will make it a complete meal. The rice will absorb the water/stock so don't put more than 1-1/2 cup dry white or 1 cup brown rice). - 7/20/10

    This stew totally rocks! I made it with a few more veggies (onions and mushrooms), added some chicken broth (half broth, half water), and had to change up some of the spices/herbs for what I had on hand (used rosemary instead of basil, oregano and marjoram, more garlic powder, andfajita seasoning). - 7/1/10

    I make something similar, but instead of water, I use low sodium chicken broth (such as Swanson). I also use different seasonings, because we don't like much seasnoning in our food. This is a matter of one's one taste on the seasonings to use. sahaus49 - 6/22/08

    This was a quick and easy recipe to throw together. I added 1 tsp of salt and 2 cups of chicken broth with 2 cups of water instead of just all water. But for people who are on a low sodium diet (we have a family member) this is a great way to enjoy a winter favorite. - 10/12/07

    As with any recipe, if it is too bland add your spices, the ones that you like for italian add italian seasoning; for regular add poultry seasoning; for spice red pepper or pepper flakes; it is a basic recipe that you can do a lot with. - 12/17/11

    I make something similar and have added half water half lite coconut milk with some extra freshly chopped chillies for extra spicyness. To give it a really good kick, add some minced ginger and garlic. - 10/14/08

    I used low salt chicken broth instead of water and added about 1.5 TBS chicken base. It was very good, EXCEPT too much pepper. Will make it again with about 1/4 tsp of pepper. - 1/13/11

    I did use low sodium chicken broth instead of the water. Also added some egg noodles to the last half hour to absorb some of the broth. - 10/20/08

    Smelled good, but had NO flavor at all. Recipe has no salt and potatoes absorb all the flavor from the other veggies. I added 1/2 tsp salt and that was still no where near enough. Kids didn't like it either. (Although I would cooked with salt. May try again.) - 4/17/07

    Added peas and more onion and garlic. Also subbed low NaCl chix broth for HOH. I aree with using bone-in, skinless trimmed chix pieces for more flavor. Still tweaking it :) - 7/20/10
