My mother taught me how to make this dish. Someone always asks for the recipe whenever I prepare it. A buddy claims that her family disputes the matter! Enjoy, I hope! This recipe can also be used to create homemade chicken soup. Simple preparation requires only chopping up vegetables, shredding chicken, and cooking in chicken broth.

Reviews
LOVE this bread! Only change I’ve made is to use a generous cup of chocolate chips instead of the 3/4 and freeze them beforehand- turns out great every time!
This bread was AMAZING! I made the dough in the bread machine then added frozen chocolate chips after the cycle was done, had the machine knead it for me for a few minutes until the chips were fully incorporated, then took it out to rise for 30 min. I then split the dough into 2 pans, let it rise for about 45 min then baked at 350 for 30-40 min. This bread is soooo good and I’ll be making it often over the holidays.
This was delicious! I did tweak the original recipe. I added vanilla to the mix, and at the beep I added 1 tsp cocoa for a chocolate swirl and 1 cup chocolate chips that I had put in the freezer for about 20 minutes. I will make again
Made this 2x. First time it didn’t get done all the way so I baked it for 10 more minutes. 2nd time I used the “sweet bread” cycle on the bread machine and it came out perfect. I have an automatic dispenser and the chocolate chips dumped out at perfect time.
Awesome – I made this last night and it was absolutely delish! I made some minor adjustments to the recipe, I used whole wheat bread flour, omitted the white sugar and used dark chocolate chips. Perfectly moist and just the right amount of sweetness. Will definitely make again!
Delicious and easy!
excellent!
Amazing recipe! Made it for friends and we all loved it : )
I made it with my Zojirushi bread maker exactly as written and it turned out fabulous! I did have the chocolate chips frozen prior to adding them during the fruit and nut cycle. I used the bread cycle; light crust and the chips didn’t smear throughout the bread. Definitely would make again!
I read a lot of the reviews before I made this and I followed the recipes exactly except I set the bread machine to dough (1 1/2 hours) and then put it in an aluminum loaf pan sprayed with baker’s Joy and baked 325 for about 45 minutes in my oven, until a skewer inserted came out clean. When it was good and brown, but still not done, I covered it with a piece of foil so it wouldn’t burn. It turned out beautiful and cooked well.
The bread was chewy and didn’t taste right.
I’ve made this twice now. My co-workers love it. I like to wake up to the smell of fresh bread baking. I like to put the ingredients in at night and use the delayed start setting but this recipe contains both eggs and milk. I got around that by substituting powdered dried eggs and powdered milk. Instead of one cup milk and 1/4 cup water use 1 1/2 cups water. Add 1 tablespoon dried whole eggs (mine are from King Arthur) and 2 T of dried milk.
This recipe was surely a roller coaster. First off, being someone who hasn’t used a bread machine very much, the directions weren’t very clear. I eventually found a setting for the bread, but it took 3 hours and 40 minutes to cook and didn’t really rise until the last half hour. Not very brightly on my part, I started making it at 10 p.m, so you can imagine I was up later than I thought making the bread. But, to my surprise the bread tasted great! I brought it to a family Christmas party and it was pretty good! I think more people would have liked it fresh from the oven, or warm at least. It tastes great heated up! Cold, not as good. Also, I would add more chocolate chips. Summed up my message is this: if you are loosing hope in your no-rising bread after three hours of baking, wait it out, I’m sure glad I did!
Very good! I made it with soy milk due to a dairy allergy and it still turned out great! I used the sweet bread setting on my Oster bread machine and put the chips in when it beeped, and they pretty much stayed in chip form. However, I think I may use raisins instead of chocolate chips next time, just personal preference. If you like chocolate chip muffins, pancakes, etc, you’ll like this bread!
I added the chocolate chips before the signal and it became a chocolate bread with cinnamon and was really good. My 13 yr. old, devoured it. Excellent recipe.
Oh baby, this is good! I mistakenly used all purpose flour, and it still came out great. I used butter instead of margarine. I had to add about 1/4 c of flour to get the dough the right consistency. Added 1 c of frozen mini semi-sweet chocolate chips at the add-in beep, and they melted a little but maintained their separateness- no hard little chunks, but not “chocolate bread” either! Perfect, just like the picture. I have a T-Fal bread machine, and I used the 2-lb medium crust setting, and it was wonderful. THANK YOU! My son thanks you, and my husband thanks you, and loaf #2 is in the machine right now and I’m sure my in-laws will thank you later!
I used dark chocolate chips and it was awesome!!!!!
We have made this recipe several times. We add in extra chocolate chips and a tsp of vanilla
I can’t wait to make this again!! My family ate the entire loaf in one evening. I am not a cinnamon lover and usually skip or substitute it, but this was just the right amount. It’s a perfect subtle balance to the chocolate.
Very flavorful which was surprising! I’ve tried a few other chocolate and brownie bread recipes but this one was far better. I only ever use my bread maker to make dough, we bake it ourselves in regulatr bread pans to avoid those huge square hard to slice loaves with holes in the bottom from the mixer paddles. I found the dough very wet. Others suggested increasing the flour which I will do next time. It still rose nicely a 2nd time on the counter once transferred into bread pans. My chips mostly melted too but they didn’t completely blend in, there was a nice very noticeable chocolate marble look. I will try this again and see if I can add the chip later in the dough cycle. I used a Black & Decker All-On-One and oven baked on 350 for 30min. Yum!
I had to add much more liquid. Maybe it is from my elevation, but the dough was very heavy. Very yummy though.
