Absolutely disgusting. Looked, smelled, and tasted gross. I should have read the reviews before making. No salvaging this one- we threw it out.

I wish I had read the reviews before I made this. The chicken was very tender and falling off the bone. However, the bland taste and terrible appearance made it unappetizing. The leftover sauce was oily and runny. I used it with the cheese sauce but it might have been better if I had just smothered everything in Velveeta. It was edible, but I won't make it again.

Tasted good, but the sauce didn't work out -- very runny and oily looking. Used boneless chicken thighs that fell apart when taking out of the slow cooker. Would make again and probably use only half the reserved liquid when making the sauce so it would be thicker.

I have made this recipe twice now - once without the "cheesy" and once with the "cheesy." Either way, it is bland and pretty much tasteless though the chicken is very tender. The only good thing this recipe has going for it is that it is very easy to prepare!

I love this recipe. I tried it the first time by the directions now I change it up by adding different veggies, spices occasionally and different cuts of chicken. I love that it only takes 15 minutes to prep, then I am off to work. I don't use velveeta anymore due to it's high cost and subsitute Cheeze Whiz instead... it adds zing. :) The hubby loves it.

yuck... the sauce didn't thicken up and it broke so there was odd colored runny stuff on our chicken. Tried to eat just the chicken but it was really bland. We threw it out.

My family loved this recipe! I did tweak it a little to suit our taste buds though and after reading some of the reviews about it being bland. In place of the green pepper I used 4 cloves of fresh garlice. I used boneless, skinless chicken tenders instead of the thighs and sprinkled with sea salt, pepper, and thyme. I upped the velveeta to 8oz. and added a little milk to make it a little creamier. And instead of pouring the sauce over top, I placed the chicken & potatoes back into the crockpot and mixed it all together. Definately a keeper!!

I would make this again although after hearing about how bland some found it I made a few changes: rather than the green pepper I sliced shallots and minced garlic and added that into the pot with a tiny bit of thyme (a few sprigs) I also seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper and smoked paprika before adding it into the slow cooker. There were no issues with flavor and my kids 7 & 11 ate it no problem!
