  1. bakerw3kids REVIEW:

    I varied this a bit as I didn't want tomatoes in it. I browned the chicken and put in crock. Melted the butter in the microwave and stirred in the garlic (which I crushed), chili powder, ground ginger, and paprika. Evenly drizzled that over the chicken. Added FRESH mushrooms and the chopped onion over the top and sprinkled the salt over that. Let cook on low for 5 hours and the chicken was done and almost falling off the bone it was so moist.

  2. ilove REVIEW:

    Delicious recipe!! Browning the chicken first is important to give it a good texture. I only cooked on low for about 6 hours because my crock pot is newer (and I know that 8-10 will overcook things). I stirred in just a little extra chili powder and ginger when I added the cream since spices tend to fade during long cooking times.
