When I made this recipe a few months ago, it didn't turn out good at all. I put it together in the morning and then left for work. My husband went home for lunch that day and called me to ask if the crockpot was supposed to be dry? Come to find out it was ready to eat right then? Four hours before I was ready. I checked all the settings and I had it on low. I still don't exactly know what the problem was. But, I would like to try it again. Only, I think I will do it on a weekend!

I made a few adjustments to this recipe. Those were, I added more water(3 cups total), I used garlic powder instead of cloves and used instant instead of wild rice because those were the things I had on hand. I also cooked it for 30 minutes on high and 5 hours on low-which was perfect timing for my crockpot. The chicken was good, but it didn't have a real strong flavor, while the rice was very lemony! That may have been caused by the changes I made in ingredients, so, I will probably give this another try using exactly what the recipe calls for! Thanks for sharing, MrsSPheonix!

<p>I am an Aussie married to my wonderful American husband since 2002. I no longer work having been retired on medical grounds. My main hobby would be cooking and collecting recipes (one can never have enough cookbooks)! We have 2 cute kitties named Jerzee & Zebu, who bring me great joy. I also enjoy watching sports, listening to music and spending time with family and friends. I like almost all types of music, & would go to more concerts if I had more money. Having been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last year I am really focussing on eating more & more unprocessed foods. The irony is that I never really had a sweet tooth & now that I've been told to avoid sugar, suddenly alln things sweet seem so delicious!!! Now that I have more time I plan on cooking more frequently & also trying some more time-consuming recipes.</p>
