I was looking for a crockpot recipe and this was in a crockpot cookbook and didn't realize it was stove top till I printed it. No matter, it was very easy to do. I used more garlic and no cloves. Although onions weren't in the directions, I added a spring onion. This smelled so good cooking and we served it with brown rice. Everyone liked it. Glad I stumbled upon it! I will save the leftover sauce for another dish.

What a wonderful aroma from this dish! The spice combination was excellent and the resulting sauce of just the right thickness for pasta. I made this using fresh garlic and chopped onion (Onion is in the instructions but missing from the ingredient list)which I sauteed before adding the liquids. Served over fettucini--a very nice meal.

Awesome recipe that will be a part of my rotation. I always loved slow cooked pork in homemade tomato sauce, but the chicken was fantastic. The seasoning give the dish an exotic almost indian type of flavor. Nice job Trish!
