Awesome recipe, had most of items only missing fresh mushrooms and also diced have any canned, and also missed it was to be done in crockpot so did it in oven at 350 for one and half hours, browned chicken a little before putting in pot. Would give this a nine out of ten. Husband guest also loved it.

This stew was quite watery and not at all good tasting. It had very little flavor and the flavors that were present didn't meld very well together. This needs more salt, some good olive oil, and some different seasonings. Not sure of the purpose of the pasta sauce (recipe stated pasta sauce or alfredo sauce--can't imagine how alfredo sauce could fit into this at all ). I added the pasta sauce, but it didn't make a difference...bland and unappealing.
