Quick, Easy, Good and Healthy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I liked this recipe, it was simple to put together and it cooked up quickly. I don't have a slow cooker, so I cooked mine on... the stove top. I sauted the vegetables first in a little bit of olive oil, then placed the raw seasoned chicken on top plus the sauce over top and let it cook for about an hour and half. I took the advice of another person and added some orange juice to the tomato sauce as well. When the chicken was finished cooking, I served it with a dolp of sour cream, avocado and cilantro and presto! A delicious home cooked meal in no time. Would definitely make again, husband loved it!Read more

Quick and easy to make but nothing special
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was super easy and I was really excited about it but the results were a little disappointing. I prepped all of the... ingredients the night before and just threw everything in the crockpot before we left for work. All we had to do was cook some rice (I didn't do the rice recipe included - we prefer plain white rice in this family) and sat down to eat. It wasn't bad it just wasn't great. Mostly it just tasted like spicy tomato sauce. Read more

SUPER delicious with some tweaks, but what recipe doesn't?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one of our favorite slow cooker recipes. It's super easy and full of great flavor. The rice is delicious and makes... all the flavors come together. The chicken is also superb in tacos, if you don't want to make the rice, shred the chicken and throw it in a corn tortilla with some cilantro, sour cream and salsa! YUM! Read more

What?!?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Not sure where Robin got this recipe but it's not good. Traditional Jamaican Rice & Peas is not instant and has no lemon... zest. She could have at least added the salt and scotch bonnet pepper. It shouldn't be bland and you shouldn't really taste the coconut milk. IDK whats up with this recipe. Read more

EXCELLENT RECIPE!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just added a can of diced tomatoes to the tomato sauce. My husband loved it except for the coconut milk in the rice but he... has boring taste buds anyway. I love the rice myself. It is time consuming so I think I will just serve this with Basmati Rice and red beans on the side instead of going to the trouble of making the rice. I'm having company tomorrow from out of town and will make it for them. Hope they like it.Read more

Rich and delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is wonderful with just a couple of little tweeks. I would recommend adding about 2 more teaspoons of salt &... pepper PLUS a Tbp. of sugar to the tomato sauce mixture. I found that it made the sauce a little less tangy and "tomato-y" tasting. Oh-and also add another tsp & 1/2 of salt & pepper to the rice and peas along with some extra lime juice...it will taste less bland.Read more
