During a long winter (and spring), my husband and I were in need of something warm, comforting, and bright. This chicken was the perfect thing. It fills the house with the smell of home when Mom would make chicken soup, with a little something extra. —Amy Chase, Vanderhoof, British Columbia

i always love taste of home recipes.. this was a huge disappointment. Bland and pretty much inedible is a correct description of how this turns out.

Excellent and my other half now requests it.

I have a family of picky eaters and they all loved this dinner! I did add salt, pepper, and extra spices and also left the chicken in larger chunks. EXCELLENT recipe!

So easy to do. I used the boneless, skinless chicken breast.this stew was a huge hit in the house. All I did was toss it all in the crock pot on high, the in less than 5 hours we had a delicious dinner that could feed about 7 people, easly. Will be making it on a regular basis. Best part about this stew is I'm type 1 diabetic and this dish is low in carbs.

I never write recipe reviews, however this one was so bad I feel compelled to let others know. I am shocked that this recipe made it into the magazine. I enjoy all of the flavor profiles in this recipe and I came home from work excited for dinner only to find out that even though I had followed the recipe to a "T", it was completely inedible. It was a complete waste of time and money. I highly recommend anyone thinking of making this not to.

I like this recipe, but it needed tweeking for more flavor. I added 2 more garlic cloves, herbs du provance, and tripled the amount of thyme using fresh instead of dried. I added more pepper and salt to taste. I also used sweet potatoes.

This was on the bland side and the cooking time is too high, so the chicken was on the dry side. I love the name and I was hoping for something special with this but it fell a little short.

It smelled good cooking but really lack much flavor.

The lemon peel added a pleasant surprise! I cut the carrots into bigger chunks and used tapioca instead of flour for a gluten free meal.
