I was disappointed in the outcome of this dish. I used the exact proportions of everything, except that I had used tomatoes with celery, onion and green pepper, so I added 2 cloves of minced garlic. For some reason, I decided to brown my chicken first and am glad I did. After 3 hours on low I checked and the pasta was sludge. WAY OVERCOOKED. The chicken was done, barely. I think the idea here was great and the flavor combination would be excellent. And while all crockpots do cook differently,(and I did check to make sure mine was on low); either the liquid to pasta ratio was off, or the cooking time was off. I will try again, and this time add the pasta after 3 hours and let cook for 1 hour and see if that might be the solution. Darlene, I hope you keep trying new things in your crockpot and keep on posting them, and I'll be sure to let you know if my modification to the cooking time improves the outcome.

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
