Cooking Know-How

Taking the lid off your slow cooker for even just a minute reduces the heat and extends the cooking time. Lift the lid only if instructed to do so in the recipe.

It was easy to make and had good flavor. My family enjoyed it. I would use boneless chicken the next time (just my preference).

This is very good and easy to make. However, the veggies were a too mushy, because of being in the slow cooker for 6 hours. I would add them an hour before it is ready. The chicken fell off the bone when it was finished and it was very moist and tasty. ENJOY!!

I found that the peppers got very squishy from being in the slow cooker so long. I may try to add them toward the end, the next time I make this.

Good, but missing something. Next time I might sub spaghetti sauce for the crushed tomato, or else add tomato paste and basil and oregano--to get both a richer and more lively flavor.
