very good. next time will omit liquid browning as it gave the dish a rather unpleasant appearance.

I used Italian sausage...nixed the allspice, used fennel seed. Excellent dinner for family or company. I made roasted potatoes as a side dish, and made a chicken potato salad with the leftovers.

I thought the spices were much too strong, no one in my family liked it.

Excellent flavor combination. My family thought it was great. I made it in the oven instead of a crock pot, with the same tender results.

This was a big hit with my husband. The chicken is so flavorful and tender. I did double the sausage the second time I made it, that way there was enough sausage to mix with every bite of chicken. Delicious!

My whole family loved it! The chicken is so tender and flavorful. I did use a few more chicken thighs and it barely served 6 adults (3 males).

We put this as in the top ten all time favorite dishes, it's great! I did thicken the sauce with a little corn starch and added a tbsp of tomato paste at the end though.
