Wow, I really loved this recipe. Didn't really change much but it being Vidallia season I used 3 onions and 3 apples. I also added some and some sage. The apple completely disintegrated so in the future I might hold some apple out until later in the cooking process (I don't like cooked skin so leaving the skin on isn't an option

It has sort of a sweet taste which is probably a combination of the apple and sweet onions. I was hesitant to use a whole cut up chicken as I usually only cook with boneless skinless breast but I think the bone really added to the "finger licking" sauce. I did of course remove the skin and cut some fat off the chicken before I put it in because on TV the skin on it looked nasty when she was done with it.

Visually unappetizing and blah flavor - my husband says throw that recipe out!

I thought this recipe was really good. I think it's pretty hard to mess up a chicken recipe. I added celery, carrots, fresh garlic and a bay leaf. I also threw in a little cognac to the soup mixture. The flavors went well with the apples. I would definitely make this again!

This makes a very interesting looking dish; however, the taste was bland. I used granny smith apples which added a hint of flavor, but otherwise it was a very boring dinner.

After reading and taking the advice of other reviewers, this slow cooker recipe is one I will make often. I sprinkled about a tbsp. of sugar over the (skin-on Granny Smith apples and onions, added a few sprigs of thyme with the rosemary, and used 2 cans of soup whisked with half as much chicken broth...all as recommended by previous reviewers. Slicing the apples in about 2" slices helped them retain shape and texture. Next time I am going to use pork chops or pork loin in place of the chicken as the flavors really lend itself to a pork dish.

This recipe is great. There were a few changes and additions that I made after reading the reviews though. The feedback was great- and by utilizing some of the changes suggested, the meal gets 5 stars from me!!!

1 Leaving the peels on the apples is a great idea. However, I think that some people may have had trouble from not using cooking apples. I specifically picked Jonathan apples because they are a favorite in pies and cooking. The flesh is a little more dense and the taste is a little more tart in these apples. a huge bonus is that the peels of this apple are a deep red, which really added color to the dish.

2 I added about a tablespoon of sugar sprinkled across the onions and apples before the chicken went in.

3 I used a can of cream of mushroom soup WITH a can of cream of celery and cut the broth to a half a cup.

4 I used boneless skinless breasts.

5 I used about a tsp. of thyme and 5 sprigs of fresh rosemary not chopped but simply rolled in my palms and tossed straight into the pot. This added color and when I served the dish everyone had a sprig of rosemary across the top of their breast that really added to the color and the presentation.

6 I did not have rice and forgot to pick it up at the store, so I made the broth a bit thicker by adding a little cornstarch disolved in cool water to the pot to thicken the sauce into a gravy. A HUGE hit over the mashed potatoes.

The result was an aromatic dish that won favor at the low key dinner party that I hosted. It was such a hit that everyone asked for the recipe. For a crockpot recipe, this is a very refined dish. Its something exciting and new that most haven't tasted. In fact everyone was surprised that it was such a simple crockpot meal.
This is EASILY a new comfort food for my family and friends and I.

This was the best recipe I've gotten off foodnetwork.com!!! The chicken soooo tender and delicious. I left the peels on the apples and I put in LOTS of rosemary and tyme and fresh black pepper in. I also used skinless boneless breast. I used brown rice also. I highly recommend this recipe and I hope to make it again soon. My Family LOVED it also!! The people that wrote bad reviews either have horrible taste or are horrible cooks.

Mine was really watered down. The chicken was very good, but otherwise, this recipe was just OK. I probably wouldn't make it this way again.

After reading the reviews, I seasoned the chicken with sage, thyme, salt and pepper. I used Cream of Mushroom with Roasted Garlic soup with evaporated milk and chicken broth. I also used chicken thighs. Also after reading about the mushy apples, I left the skins on and after the chicken was cooked, I used a stick blender to blend the apples to make it more of a gravy and served it over jasmine rice. My husband loved it. Great for the fall.
