Very tasty! Lots of points for simplicity! Better with low sodium soy sauce. This time I followed it exactly, but, as others suggested, I see more garlic & ginger in my future....maybe even some red pepper flakes for ZING! Thank you for the post!

    Made two crock pots full of thighs...served with white rice and steamed broccoli -extended family liked it, toddlers like it! Nice change of pace. Took reviewers advice- added extra garlic and ginger- then thickened sauce at the end with cornstarch. Hubby says make it again!

    I was pleasantly surprised by this chicken. Even though it has 8 oz of tomato sauce, it really isn't "tomatoey" at all. The color was a nice deep burgundy brown. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I added some ginger and extra garlic. At the end of cooking time, I dissolved 1 tbsp of cornstarch in 1 tbsp of water and stirred it in to thicken the sauce. This would be a great recipe to make in a skillet; I think the sauce would get nice and sticky. I'll try that! Thanx for sharing!

    This was very tasty! I cooked mine in the crockpot for 2 hrs, but needed it to be done quicker, so zapped it in the microwave with the sauce. Very tender, moist and flavorful. Thanks for posting, bmcnichol!
