I made this tonight for the first time and husband says, make it again so it's a keeper. It was pretty tasty and the other person that commented is right, it's not an simple recipe but the rewards are worth the effort.

I just made this for the first time. It is NOT a simple recipe - you have to saute the chicken before putting it in the slow cooker. After slow cooking, you mash the potatoes & finish the broth. So there's prep & finish tasks, in addition to 6 hours of slow cooking.
All that being said, it is a DELICIOUS meal. I doubled (tripled?) the cayenne pepper, so this was spicy, slightly sweet, & filling. I also used olive oil to saute the chicken instead of non-stick spray. The next time I make this I think I will use butter.
