I added carrots and used creamy chicken soup instead of cream of celery since I didn’t have any. Definitely pleased with how it turned out!
Tara Stephenson
I added about 5 cloves of garlic and a sliced large whole onion to the sauté pan first. Cooked that with chicken and several stalks of diced celery. Used thyme and other spices. Dumped in baby potatoes and lots of chicken broth too plus about 1 cup of dried figs cut into quarters. Delicious!

I would make this again. This was a good base to start with. I browned both boneless chicken thighs as well as some bone-in breasts and legs with onion, garlic and olive oil, s&p, oregano, basil and thyme. I put this in the crock pot with one apple, carrots, celery, mushrooms and broccoli, garlic cloves, chicken broth and red wine. I put a cut-up sweet potato in a couple of hours before serving and frozen peas about 30 minutes before. Made some noodles and spooned everything over the noodles. Yummy!

It was delicious!!! My husband and I loved it. The only thing to make it better is to not add the suggested amount of salt.

I make this a couple of times. Instead of potato I use cauliflower. I also use celery, mushrooms, carrots. I use 2 packs of chicken gravy or turkey gravy. I use 1 can cream of celery and 1 can cream of mushroom. I make naan bread on the side and it’s very delicious. This recipe calls for too little water. I use 2 cups of water and that’s enough.

Great recipe! I was scared of the apple but I put it in and it was fine. Not even sure it really affected the taste. I did make some modifications: I added one half stick of butter, one can of green beans, one can of corn and about 3/4 cup minute rice (these last three were added in the last 5 minutes). I used the family size cream of mushroom soup and about 8 cups of chicken boulion. Cooked for 4 hours on low, then 2 hours on high. My husband and 3 kids absolutely loved it and want me to make it again tomorrow!!

Amazing!!! The boyfriend loved it. It was such a great comfort food for a cold winter night. Served it with a loaf of homemade bread!!

OMG…..talk of a comfort food. The apple bits were the star of the stew. Some warm bread to dip in the broth made this stew disappear like magic.
Jamie Salazar
Very good – my husband really liked this. I followed some other suggestions and cut the potatoes smaller as well as the onions. I also added carrots and only one apple as that is all I had. I used cream of chicken soup but I’m sure just about any cream soup would work well. I’ll keep this recipe. Thanks.

Tasty! I add a cup and a bit of cubed butternut squash and did NOT saute the chicken ahead of time. Just mixed it in with all of the spices and the gravy mix and let it cook on low for 8 hours. Worked out well and the kids and husband and extended family loved it!
Blake Peterson
Really yummy!! I used cream of chicken soup and chicken broth instead of water. Also added some carrots and celery seed. Very hearty and certainly filling! Will definitely make again on one of those cold winter nights.
Steven Ayers
We loved this but I did make some changes. I added 1 cup water and more potato. It was a little salty and I couldn’t find onion gravy mix so I used chicken gravy mix. It was very thick and tasty. Next time I may cut the salt and Italian seasoning a little. I also had more chicken in it as I didn’t want to waste a breast.
Thomas Hoffman
I loved this recipe! I served it over rice and my little boy ate it up!
Annette Bailey
It was totally flavorless. I didn’t understand why y’all used the buillion cubes and everybody said it was too salty, so I just used chicken stock. The whole thing was blah. I gave two stars because serving it over biscuits made a difference.
Jessica Lawrence
SOLID 4 stars. Good as is, I reccomend you customize it to make it amazing given your personal tastes. I like using 3 apples, 1c chicken broth, sub rosemary & oregano for italian seasoning, and being generous with garlic. Make sure you cut the potatoes small enough to cook; I was cutting mine into as many as 20 pieces (halve, quarter, chop chop chop chop…that’s all it takes to make it bite size). I also chopped up the onion a bit more for more bite-size texture. Bottom line, this was satisfying, tastey, easy to make, and inexpensive. I loved it. 🙂

Cooked only 3.5 hours and still came out mushy.
Beth Lee
This was a great receipe. My family loved it. It was wonderful coming home and having dinner ready. It’s definately a keeper. Next time I’ll add another apple.
Jennifer Walker
I doubled the recipe,as others wrote, I sauteed celery with garlic and chicken.Added lots of carrots and extra potatoes. I used 1 can cream of celery and 1 can cream of mushroom. Added 3 granny apples and 2 bay leaves. With all the other ingredients this was a delicious diner . Everyone loved it.
Becky Thompson
pretty good!
Lauren Smith
Did not like this one at all! Maybe it was me but I will not make it again.
Aaron Potter
This recipe was delicious! The only thing I changed was to add 1 cup of chicken broth and instead of using bouillon cubes, I used chicken base which is like a paste. Also, the next time, I will add a little less pepper. Otherwise, my husband and friends loved this recipe. I will be taking this to church at our next social.
