    It sounded very promising but the overall result was extremely dissapointing. Either something is missing or there are one too many ingredients. I couldn't decide what the problem was but there definetly was one.

    I'm pretty disappointed. I read the reviews on this recipe, and still decided to give it a shot. I put the chicken on the bottom of the cooker, did plenty of research on peeling the acorn squash (save yourself some time and use a very sharp knife - there's no way a veggie peeler will do that job! When I came home from work (5 hours into cooking time on low, the dish had made our house stink to high heaven. I still tried to give the dish a chance - although it didn't look or smell appetizing. My husband and two kids (9 and 5 wouldn't touch it. We ended up going out for bbq instead. This dish just wasn't for us, I guess I'm a good ol' Southern gal, with tastes closer to that of Paula and Emeril's dishes.

    Although this recipe is very easy, we didn't really care for it. The squash was overpowered by the sweet potatoes. The combination of ingredients created a brown dish not too visibly appealing. We thought that the sauce had too much marmalade and not enough salt. The sweet potatoes and chicken were pretty good, so the dish is not horrible. I won't make it again.

    It was easy and very juicy. I put the chicken on the bottom to soak up the juices. My picky husband loved it too.

    Tasty, but definitely needs tweaking. The final product ends up really sweet and it needs something to cut the sugar. I added extra hoisin sauce, some soy sauce, and some hot pepper flakes. It could also use a bit of extra salt. Thigh meat also works really well in it.

    his was a good cold evening dinner treat. I did change it up a bit after reading the reviews. I put in two tablespoons of hoisin sauce and the zest of one orange. Used a combination of oriental vegestables over brown rice. We
    loved it.

    My 98 yer old father-in-law is a very picky eater, but he loves sweet potatoes and chicken. He REALLY liked this. He even asked me to make it again!!!.
    I use my slow cooker every day and I really like Robin's recipes.,

    I like the flavor combination and the ease of this receipe. I work full time and am the mom of 2 kids under 2 years of age. Although this is not my husbands favorite the kids like it and it is a one pot meal with little clean-up. That makes it a winner in our home.

    I'm not sure what the others were expecting ... but this was a fun and easy recipe to make -- even for us guys. And very healthy. The next time -- and there will be a next time -- I will add some orange zest for a bit more orange taste and another dollop of hoisin sauce. But my wife and I really liked it.
