I prepared this, but used one of the big packs of thighs - had 9 in it I think. My husband doesn't like rosemary, so I subbed cardamom (same amount as rosemary). I didn't do the vinegar at the end. The stew was very good - except I found it too liquidy and fatty. I think I might remake it with chicken breasts next time. Thanks for sharing!

I gave this 3 stars because one of my daughters and I really didn't like it. Another daughter and another family member liked it. I guess it really takes "different strokes for different folks"!

SO wonderfully easy and a very flavoursome crockpot recipe! I added some thyme to the rosemary but otherwise made this exactly to the recipe. Thank you, Bev! A great recipe when time is short, so I'll certainly be making this again!
