bandsawbill...making a half recipe is what caused your recipe to go wrong, not the prunes. Cooked too little for too long in a slow cooker with no heat control. Invest in a smaller slow cooker and follow the amounts and then freeze the remainder for a successful outcome.
I followed the directions exactly & the result was a disaster. The whole dish was almost black & the carrots were dark. The prunes were quite sticky & dark, maybe that was the cause. Please advise, thanks. Also I cooked for about 6 hrs. My slow cooker has no heat control & since there are only 2 of us, I made 1/2 portion.
This is a delicious family dinner. I served it over the Trader Joe's couscous blend to rave reviews. This is so easy to make and as the prior reviewer mentioned the results are wonderful.
This chiken recipe is now a family and friend's favorite and they all ask for the recipe.
I reduced the cooking time to 3 hours (on low heat).
I served it with rice or mashed potatoes.
It is very easy to make and what a surprising result! Sweet and so tasty...Thank you Better Home
Enjoy
Good and easy to prepare.
