    Made this for the first time yesterday and it was delicious! I used a mixture of thigh and breast and everything was cooked perfectly. Served on rice. Will definately be making this again.

  2. What could you use instead of condensed chicken soup? I can’t have onions.

      The tomato sauce is sauce (like ketchup) not paste

    This was delicious. Husband thought so too because he’s spooning the leftover sauce straight from the slow cooker. Another great recipe Paulene.

  4. Tried this for the first time tonight. It was so easy to put together, and while it tasted lovely, I felt it needed a little more oomph. My husband enjoyed it. We served it with rice tonight, I might try it with mashed potatoes tomorrow night…
    Couldn’t give it a star rating, but if I could it would have been ****

    Made this tonight, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The colours were fantastic, reminded me of Christmas. Thank you for another great recipe Pauline.

    This is a regular meal for me. Makes several serves that I can take to work. Love the freshness of it.

    This is one of my favourite dishes. I make it often. Even my fussy child eats it. So good with mashed potatoes.

    Delicious. Just loved the gravy – the mashed potato went well with it. Will be a regular meal – and it was so easy to put together. I forgot to add I used Cream of Celery Soup, but they are all of a muchness, so next time I will try the asparagus 🙂

    Love this recipe. So simple and quick. It’s one of my camping dinners because of the simplicity. I love the colours too and with the tomatoes and spinach, it only needs rice to serve. Of course you could add other veg to serve but it’s not needed if you want a simple meal. Love it!

    This recipe was so easy. I did halve all the ingredients. Also threw in some mushrooms and a little chilli. Husband was so impressed.
    Served with potato. Next time will have it with pasta or rice as there was loads of gravy. Loving these SC recipes. 👌🏼. They really have given me so much confidence to try anything.
    This one is a definite keeper!!!!!

  13. First time trying this recipe, and it did not disappoint.
    A delicious chicken meal with great flavour.
    Served with a packet of chicken flavoured rice. (Rice A Riso)

    I was looking for something different and found this beauty. Great for summer, so fresh and the family loved it. I added onion, carrot and zucchini and served with sweet potato. Next time I would only use 1 tab of worstershire sauce. Another winning recipe.
