I altered this recipe (due to lack of ingredients) and ended up with the BEST BEEF STEW. I took someone's suggestion of using Chunky Salsa, then added the spices per recipe. I did NOT use cornstarch or onions or green peppers (both are in chunky salsa). It made the most tender, flavorful beef stew. My five year old LOVED it and wanted it for lunch AND dinner the next day. DELICIOUS

I combined many of the tips here and lightly seared 4 chicken breast (pieces) before placing it in the pan. I added 1 cup raisins as well as 2 Tbsp curry. Most importantly, I cooked it for 1.5 hrs - the chicken was dry after only 45 mins. YUMMY !!!
