This recipe was easy to make which is a must for me. I served it over whole wheat pasta and it was DELICIOUS! I didn't use celery b/c I didn't have it. I also used a can of diced tomatoes with chiles and it gave it spice :) I think I will add mushrooms next time. I will definitely make it again - 12/27/09

Not worth the slow cooking - all veggies can be placed in a pan along with the chicken and it all can be ready in 30 minutes... then add less marinara and let simmer another 10 minutes and that's all, no need to wait for 365 minutes...
The celery has a strong taste - one cup of it is too much. - 7/21/10

Yes, in the oven is great too! If I make in the oven I reduce the celery by 1/4 cup. Some members just have to have their crock pot recipes. Chef Meg
