    Needed more than salt and peper...I had to spicy it up!!!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I am glad I read the reviews before preparing this dish. First I seasoned my chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika and a little cayenne pepper. I also added some garlic and butter to the onion, celery and carrot mixture. I used 26 oz of chicken stock (instead of broth) and added 4 bay leavesand a can of tomato sauce. I also seasoned the base with fresh ground salt & pepper,rosemary, thyme and cumin. I replaced the kidney beans with potatoes and added 3 T of butter after removing the chicken. After I put the chicken back in I let it simmer for 15 min with the lid on. Then I let it rest until dinner time. I served it with sour dough french bread. Yummy!!!

    A real crowd pleaser!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this chicken stew for a large group gathering. I doubled the recipe and it worked just fine. I did decide to add quite a bit of garlic (from the suggestions of other rater suggestions). It was so tasty and didnt' take long at all to prepare. I'm definitely planninng o making it again and again.

    So easy and everyone loved it!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I decided to try it after all the reviews - and of course everyone is right it is great. Here are the few adaptations that I used: added 2 cloves of garlic Used small white beans instead of kidney Made large crunchy croutons to place on top - I will always add these! I served it with fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano for the top and my girls loved it. Next time I may add some of the saved parmigiano rind to add in the broth for additional flavor. This will be a new staple in my fall/winter line-up!

    Easy, delicious, and tasty

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this recipe with bone-in chicken thighs and a healthy amount of cumin. I used extra celery, carrots, and bay leaves. I let the stew cook overnight and .... wow. This is an excellent, filling, satisfying dish. I recommend this for anyone who loves stews, chicken, and beans....this will surely be made again by this cook many times.

    Added a few things : one tablespoon butter with the evoo, one teaspoon cumin, 2 cinnamon sticks, one tablespoon diced ginger, one lemon diced, extra garlic, and a can of chick peas. Cooked on low heat for 2 hours. Served with warm crusty French bread. It is a keeper.

    Wow...delicious!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was delicious...came in handy for a December meal especially with everything going on holiday wise. Only problem was the chicken was not cooked after 25 minutes...so i cooked for an additional 30 and it was perfect. I doubled the recipe, added chopped garlic in with the vegetables, used italian diced tomatoes, and paste and added italian seasoning also. Came out fantastic! Served with garlic bread and a a caesar salad. Tastes awesome the next day also. Keeper definitely. Big fan of the One Pot Meals!!!!

    Outstanding

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I absolutely loved it, so did my roommate and my girlfriend. I took notes from the reviews and added garlic. Just because I had quite a bit, I doubled up on celery [four stalks] and also i used boneless chicken thighs...took it light on the salt as well, I let the celery and canned beans add the majority of the saltiness, but I did add a tiny dash.

    Better in the Stock Pot

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    To make this recipe cook faster, I use rotissire chicken and cook in the stock pot. Be sure to add garlic. Makes for a very quick brown bag lunch through the week. Yummy!

    Good base

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    The first time I made this I thought there was something missing so I checked the recipe, it was a little bland for my taste. I had to add salt & pepper. Other than that it was a nice stew and a good consistency. Now I consider it a good base and add more seasonings, different veggies depending on what's in season and it's always a hit with my family. You have to add more flavor as noted by alot of the reviews.

    Excellent Family Fare

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This is a fantastic recipe for family fare and has been made numerous times for my family. I did not rate this as a '5' simply because I do not feel this would hold up on a highly rated restaurant menu as it is written. That being said, this is a great dish to serve at home and would be loved by all. It is very much welcomed here during the fall and winter time as it is hearty and warms the innards. I have made it according to the recipe and have also deviated a bit by adding just a little cooked pasta or cooked diced new potatoes but no matter how I prepare it, the family loves it.

    We love this stew!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Such a simple recipe but yet so comforting. I don't always add the kidney beans but I have added green beans or zucchini. It is so comforting and great served with crusty bread. My son asks for it...and that is a picky eater. I sometimes use a store bought rotisserie chicken and it speeds things up and gives it a richer flavor if seasoned. I love Giada and her pure country Italian dishes.

    nice

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This stew was nice. I certainly added to it. I think it would have been bland without the additions. I added garlic, broccoli, red peper flakes, garlic salt, Mrs. Dash original blend, and black pepper. I also subed pinto beans for the kidney beans and sub dried basil for fresh. This would be good for someone feeling uder the weather or on a chilly winter evening. I definately suggest putting your own spin on it!

    Good, economical

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    It was good. Was it great, amazing, a gourmet explosion in your mouth? No. But it was good, and relatively easy, and economical as well. We'll definately make it again. Ours ended up more a soup than a stew. We added another carrot and some more celery, as well as a single garlic clove. Definately needed salt. We had frozen, boneless chicken breasts on hand so we used those instead of bone in chicken breasts; it's our guess it's more flavorfull w/ the bone-in chicken. Next time I think we'll up the spices a little; maybe some italian seasoning.
