Quite good but recipe was altered to reduce cooking time. I browned the chicken on the stovetop for a couple of minutes on each side. I also sauteed onions on stovetop to bring out their sweetness. It only took about 30 minutes in a 350 degrees for dish to cook. Good quality tomato paste (i.e., organic) with 1 T. sugar (to cut the acidity) seemed to make what could have been a very bland dish (note the absence of spices) into a very good dish. It's really good but left me wanting something spicy at the end of the meal. I think it would be excellent to serve an Indian rice pudding afterwards.

This was very good! I have to say it is something you either like or don't like... After living in Turkey for two years, I have been searching for a good recipe to recreate the tava we ate there. I omitted the potatoes altogether. That was the way I liked it there, so after reading the reviews I figured I wouldn't even fuss with them. I also replaced the tomatoes with a small can of stewed tomatoes and a can of mild Rotel. I also topped the dish with some shredded mozzarella - yum! Serve over or with rice... The end result was very similar to what I remember! Thanks for the recipe!

I loved this dish. Some people had problems cooking the vegetables through, so I made sure to cut things up in smaller pieces. I also added a can of Roto. It was delicious.

I added a little bit of spices to add a little more flavor, but it was still a bit bland for me. Not terrible, but not a great dish in my opinion. Sorry.

To make this recipe work, you really must have the red pepper paste instead of the tomato paste. It is a spicy paste with a very unique flavor available at specialty food stores and ethnic food markets. Also, I think it's better when the garlic is crushed and use 1 onion.

ok, I thought I could pull this off with boneless chicken breasts (we don't care for thighs), and found that the potatoes just wouldn't get done along with the chicken. I pulled the chicken out, and kept cooking the vegetables up to the designated 1 1/2 hours, but then the potatoes still weren't completely done. However, the taste was excellent, the chicken came out perfect,my husband and I both loved it. Didn't feel like extra spices were needed, I was glad I didn't "tweak" it any. I will experiment next time, maybe pre-cook the potatoes a bit, because this is well worth it! Thanks for the post.

I have made this several times and its great!You might want to add a can of Rotel to this to spicen it up, thats the only thing I have found so far that makes this taste the same as when I used to eat this in Adana Turkey. You can even add Squash to it and anything else.

I found it difficult to cook the vegetables through without overcooking the chicken. This could use some more spices. $affron, turmeric, cumin, and coriander are options.
