Good base recipe. Because of the prior comments regarding dry chicken I added a cup of chicken broth and cooked on low for 5 hours. I also added a sprinkle of salt pepper and garlic powder to each piece of chicken. I didn't have peas on hand but we love spinach so I added a bag of fresh spinach during the last half hour of cooking.
We thought this was pretty tasty. I did what another user suggested and added a can of tomato soup (only b/c I had one in the pantry and we like alot of sauce). We served this with pasta and the hubby and kids all enjoyed it.
After seven hours the chicken was dry and over cooked. It completely fell apart and was a shredded dinner. I thought the combination of ingredients would make for a good taste. I will try again with a shorter cook time to keep the moisture and the flavor.
I am so happy to have found this recipe because it is a good base to be creative and use up the remaining cans of tomatoes I had in the pantry. I used 5 chicken breasts 3 cloves of garlic 2 T soy sauce 2-14oz cans of Stewed Tomatoes with Basil and Oregano 1-14oz can of tomato sauce and 1-14 oz can of chicken broth. Placed frozen chicken breasts in the pot and poured all the other ingredients on top of it. Let it cook for 9 hours. On the 10th hour I added frozen peas and carrots. This version will be a little brothier (just how I like it) so reduce the chicken broth if you are using frozen chicken.
i really liked this! I liked that it is pretty healthy and doesn't use canned creamed soup. (i use enough of that!) I did add a can of tomato soup to make more sauce (there's no MSG in tomato soup yay!) and i used a little less than 2 tbsp of the soy sauce. I was hesitant to try this b/c of the soy sauce (i'm just not a fan!) but my husband loves soy sauce so I gave it a try and wow i really loved it! So fast and so easy. Will definitely make again. Thanks!
I followed this recipe exactly and my husband and I thought it was just ok. It was not bad but definitely not great. We thought it was on the bland side and probably won't be making it again. But on the plus side we both agreed that it was rather healthy.
This was delicious! We are learning to eat better so I am learning a new way to cook. I did add the can of tomatoe soup as suggested by others and only had regular diced tomatoes to I had to add my own basil (guessed at the amount). When it was done we put it atop a bed of rice. My fiancee who is 10x the cook I am even raved! We will definitely have this again!
For me too it turned out flavorless. The chicken was tender but the sauce could use a lot more. It was missing something crunchy on the tongue so I added some sauteed onions and would have added a green pepper if I had it at the time too. The next day while reheating I ended up adding quite a bit of tomato and basil mix along with chili powder to give it more zest. The final result turned out not bad but I won't be making this dish again.
Fairly good but not sure about the peas. I am thinking about trying a different vegie next time but still not sure what.
