I am pregnant and almost nothing is appetizing to me these days, but this was surprisingly good! And it smells heavenly! It's definitely one of the best slow cooker dishes I've tried thus far. Simple and tasty. To whoever said that this is unseasoned and bland, did you even watch the video??? Both the sauce and chicken are seasoned quite a bit. The only thing I changed was using Italian seasoning instead of thyme but I know thyme is good with chicken dishes also. I think I will add this to my weekly rotation. Love one pot meals!

I made this today and it was delicious. I was having a hard time finding simple slow cooker recipes. I added corn to mine. Thanks.

I love my slow cooker. This is a simple enough recipe, so it's next on my list. I might be inclined to add a little tomato puree to the stock.

first crock pot experience....thanks for sharing

my NEW slow cooker ( aka- Crock Pot ) is my culinary buddy too. And I am still a novice at discovering the joys of this appliance. I do like your Chicken idea, and mixing the dry herbs with the liquid before pouring into the slow cooker. With my six Quart Crock...I just have to learn too, on making smaller recipes...so I'm not eating it for a week! :))) I think I will deviate a little from your recipe but apply the principles. Thanks for sharing this tip.

Love this fix. Going to try it tomorrow but will add cream of mushroom or chicken to the broth mix (gonna spontaneously choose one tmrw lol). I rather want the creamy mix for the potatoes than the plain broth based one.
