    This recipe needed MAJOR tweaking! I am so thankful that I read the reviews before I started making this. I halved the chicken portion, used 2 LARGE carrots, and doubled the recipe on everything else. I also browned the chicken first to add a little more color and flavor. Then I also added 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock to ensure there would be enough liquid. It only needed to be cooked for 3-4 hours. I added some baby bok choy in the last 30 minutes and served over brown rice! YUM!

    Don't make this on a day you're staying at home, because it smells really good and will drive you crazy. I really like this recipe, except for pulling the skin off the legs.

    This is a good recipe! The chicken was flavorful, although I may not cook it for the entire 6 hours, But it was VERY tasty.

    Chicken breasts tend to dry out in the crock pot because they are so low in fat. Thighs or drumsticks will turn out much better.

    This one of the worst recipes I have ever made in a slow cooker. I used two chicken breasts and cut the low cooking time in half. I ended up with "dead chicken". It was so dry I had to throw it away.

    I add 1/2 cup stock and tossed a hand full of peas in at the end. My chicken was done in 3 hours. I also omitted the corn starch.

    I used two FROZEN chicken breasts and put them right in with all the rest of the ingredients (didn't have carrots) and after three and a half hours I had a perfect meal. It was SUPER tasty! And I juices.
