    Easy and delicious. After reading the other reviews about it being bland, I increased the onions and garlic (about 50%), added mushrooms and added 3 strips of chopped bacon (cooked). I did not use any flour. The dish was really tasty - definitely one to make again! I have to say the bacon was key.

    This recipe gets a resounding meh. I feel like the author forgot an ingredient as this just ends up tasting like chicken in a vinegar sauce. If I were to make it again (doubtful) I would replace half the wine with beef broth or some other umami flavor to balance the wine. I also think caramelizing the onions and garlic beforehand would have helped some.

    I particularly like that the recipes include instructions for the dutch oven....I almost always use that instead of the slow cooker. It gives the meat some extra browning that the slow cooker doesn't.

    I made it in the slow cooker. Next time, I would add 1/2 the amount of flour (sauce was too thick) and use boneless skinless chicken. The sauce has a nice taste to it but a couple of the chicken pieces fall apart and there was bone mixed with tiny bone pieces that were difficult to pick out when placing the meal on a plate. I think making this recipe with some lean chicken pieces and not as much flour will make it perfect.

    I made this recipe tonight and we all loved it! I doubled the sauce just because we like sauce and used a white cooking wine and dried parsley because that's what I had on hand. Sorry Martha. The smell was amazing, my mouth was watering. The chicken was moist and it tasted so good! I served grilled zucchini with it. Will make this again for sure!

    This was a really great dish. Easy to make, set the crockpot and forget it. The only thing I will change next time is the amount of Thyme that went in it. It was way too overpowering for me. I will cut it to 1/2 - 1 Tsp. next time. Other than that it was delish!

    I was so happy with the way this turned out, especially given some of the reviews saying it was bland- mine was VERY flavorful! I have a mini crock pot, so I cut the recipe in 1/2 (used 1/2 a cut-up chicken) but otherwise followed it closely: browned the chicken first, and slow-cooked on high for 3.5 hours. The chicken was great, as was the sauce, the garlic bits were awesome to bite into. I served it with couscous, lemon, roasted cauliflower with lemon-parsley dressing, and roasted zucchini.

    This is how crock put chicken should be made. I did the 3.5 hrs on high. It came out beautifully, like I roasted it in the oven. Will definitely put this in the meal plan rotation.

    The chicken is tender but bland tasting, it was way over done I checked with a themometer register 185. The sauce is way to thick, I would recomend pouring the sauce over the chicken, with 6 hours on low instead of 7. I am going to add less flour more wine and cognac next time I make this recipe.
