I agree with cactuslady -4-5 hours is perfect.

My husband and I LOVE this recipe. But, cooking it for the listed time of 7 to 8 hours is about three hours too long, it leaves the chicken tasteless after that length of time. I cook it for about 4 hours. I add a couple of cloves of minced garlic to the mixture too.

I love this recipe! It has it all -it's easy, inexpensive, good for you and so delicious. My hubby and son love this too and it's so comforting. It smells heavenly while it's cooking. I add a couple cloves of garlic.
