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

Nice start ... I increased the spices except for the pepper, increased the veggies by 2x and added 2x the lemon juice. The chicken comes out nice and tender. It isn't really "stew" like at all. I just served it as chicken with a side of the veggies. Next time I would thicken the liquid to make stew. - 1/11/10

Yummy! I substituted organic chicken stock for the water, and then thickened the juice with a roux of butter and flour. After making the roux, I mixed the juice from the stew into the roux and cooked until bubbly and thickened. Then poured the thickened sauce over the chicken and veggies. Yumm! - 12/5/08

I agree with Debra, it is a very nice base to work from. I made this dish as was for people that I did not know very well. If they had diet restrictions ...this was perfect. They added to it according to their particular restrictions... as I did later. It is a very good recipe! Thank you. - 10/18/08

Very nice. I used chicken broth, a chopped fresh clove of garlic, added chives and parsley and left out the oregano and pepper. Threw it all in the pot this morning (it barely fit, so future cooks may want to watch their quantities more closely than I did), and had a lovely bowl of soup this evening - 2/15/13

I ake this with no white potatoes and I use mashed sweet poataoes I always have on hand in the freezer to thicken the both. I always sautee the chicken pieces and the onion to get more flavor. We adjusted to low sodium for medical issues and now lower sodium leaves the true flavor to enjoy. - 12/17/11

Great receipe, 2nd time making it. My grandduaghter ate at least 8 bowls and I sent some home with her, lol. I did use the low sodium chicken broth instead of water and didn't use mushrooms this time, a little less pepper and shredded the chicken instead of cubed. Will make it again for sure. - 1/31/11

I love using my slow cooker, but this dish did not cut it. I used 1/2 chicken broth, 1/2 water, added some xtra veges, & used 2 red/2 white potatoes. VERY BLAND. No flavor at all. Way too much broth. I added a can of roasted dice tomatoes & lots of salt but it was still flavorless. Won't make again - 11/1/10

I couldn't decide whether to use chicken on the bone or boneless, so I used some of both ... boneless chicken breasts and then bone-in whole chicken parts. The resulting meal was quite savory, and the spices accentuated the flavor. I agree with the comment to add more veggies - they cook down - 7/24/10
