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.

This has become a definate family favorite!!!My 22 month old daughter LOVES it!! You cant go wrong with this..the only change I made was I dont add the peppers until everything is cooked, I let them steam on top the chicken for about 10 min, Enjoy!!!

I often make this for guests. I use diced tomatoes instead of crushed and skinless, boneless chicken breasts.

I made this for a friend of mine. She was so impressed. I cooked it for 7 hours and the chicken was so tender and the whole meal was very tasty. Very simple to make.

I was disappointed in the taste, too greasy with skin on and veggies were mush and that was after only 4 hours. I would not make again.

I made this for my husband's office potluck. I tripled the recipe and it turned out great. It was a hit with his co-workers. So much so that they asked for copies of the recipe.

Delicious! Will definitly make again. But will add 1-2tbsp cornstarch next time. Turned out very runny first time around.
