  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

  I used 2 cans diced italian tomatoes and 2 cups low sodiup chicken broth along with 1/2 tspn.red pepper flakes.I'm sure a can of low sodiup mexican corn would be a nice addition.....Chef Jim - 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 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

  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

  Made this today. I put all into crockpot and added tomato base chicken boullion. Let it cook up and then took some vegies out and blended the rest for a "sauce" for coucous. It was great!! will try different vegies for the next time. Will make again!!!! - 12/4/08

  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

  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, 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

  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

  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

  We need bones to develop the broth flavor. Try using bone-in thighs, skinning & defatting them, then take the chicken out after it's cooked and de-bone; roughly chop the chicken and return it to the stew to briefly reheat on high. Yummy! - 10/15/08

  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
