I saw on other's reviews that the sauce didn't really turn out. Somehow I thought this wouldn't happen to me. I followed the directions perfectly, but the milk separated and now it's a big mess. I might try to wash everything and make a sauce and another user suggested, but I still would not recommend this one.

Printed this recipe months ago and finally tried it today. Wish I had read the reviews before making...Cooked according to directions exactly and the evaporated milk seperated. It was gross! Had to rinse the entire dish and make something else from it. Made a roux with flour, butter, garlic, pepper and chicken bouillon, then added chicken broth, and slowly wisked in milk, then added rinsed veggies & chicken to this to make a soup(google "chicken pot pie soup" for exact recipe). First time trying dairy in the crock pot - will chalk this one up to a learing experience.

Very good! I had leftover cooked chicken breast from the night before and it come out perfectly. I added the milk and flour about an hour and a half before we ate. I think I will add a little less flour when I make it next time... it was just a bit too thick for us. Served it with buscuits!

As with all the other reviewers...I found this recipe to be very tasty but the milk separated and made it look look awful. It was very runny as well so I added some flour to try to thicken it. Not sure that I'll be making this one again.

This was great! I made it twice in one week because everyone loved it so much! Both times I just used whatever frozen vegetables I had in the freezer and it was really wonderful. A new favorite for us!!

I followed the recommendations from "What a dish", and this turned out incredible! I followed her directions exactly, but the only thing I changed was I used 2 chicken breasts. I cut them into bit sized pieces about 4 hours into cooking. I also added a 1/4 cup of barley in the beginning. I added frozen peas and corn about an 1.5 hour before we ate, and added the evap milk and flour about 45 min. before. I probably will add that a little sooner next time. Probably at about an hour before we eat. This is one heck of a tasty recipe. We crumbled crackers into each bowl, and topped w/ a little sharp shredded cheese. Yum!! Will make again and again!

I followed a lot of What a Dish!'s recipe variation: I used three smallish boneless skinless chicken breasts, 2 cups of chicken broth, 2 cups of veg broth, around ½ tsp rosemary, several grounds of pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 of a large onion (chopped). I let this all cook on high for 2 hours, then I chopped the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. I added 6 oz of mushrooms (sliced in half) and let cook for 2 hours on low. I added 3 potatoes (cubed) and 12 baby carrots. I let it cook another two hours, then I added a cup of frozen peas and let it cook another half hour. I mixed around ½ cup flour with a 12-oz can of evaporated milk and mixed around 3/4 of this into the stew and let it cook around 45 minutes longer. I was very good with homemade biscuits! I agree that you should NEVER add dairy in the beginning of slow cooking. I have found, though, that if you have something start to separate in the pot, you can stir in some sour cream to help bring it back together.

i followed the recipe exact. It was more like soup, and tasted like a sugar cube. I think the pearl onions made it far to sweet. I couldnt eat half the bowl.

The flavor of this was fine, but we didn't care for the presentation. Taking the meat off the drumstick bone was cumbersome and the milk separated like so many others have said, even though I didn't add it until halfway through the cooking. It was certainly fine and we ate it, but I don't think I'll make it again.

I don't know how many stars to leave, because I admit I really changed this recipe, but I had to in order for it to work. One unwritten rule of crockpot cooking is: don't leave dairy products (namely milk or cheese) in the crockpot for extended periods of time. It will separate and just not work. So here's what I did. I put the chicken (used one large boneless chicken breast) in the crockpot with 3 cups of broth and all of the veggies except peas (omitted mushrooms). 3 cups of broth worked well- I don't see how it could have worked with 1. About an hour and half before we ate, I shredded the chicken and added the frozen peas (2 cups, not thawed). Then 30-45 minutes before we ate, I mixed one can (forget "one cup") of 2% evaporated milk with the flour in a large liquid measuring cup. Added that in and turned the slow cooker to high. Cooked until thick enough. Served with Butter Cresents from this site- yummy, good, comforting and filling! With my changes it's a 5, but as written, I'd say 3.... so I guess I'll give it a 4.

I too had the problem of the milk separating. I didn't have any potatoes in either. It looked bland so I put a sachet of creamy chicken soup in which helped a bit, but I still had to "rescue" the meal by putting it in a pie dish and covering it with breadcrumbs and cheese. I don't think I will make this again.

Really turned out great. It did separate in the crock pot but a little corn starch and all was fine. Next time I'll add the milk last.

This stew did not turn out at all. The evaporated milk separated and the flavour is lacking. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I substituted fresh rosemary for dried and I threw the peas in at the very end rather than having them cook all day. This is a pretty good crock pot recipe, but I also had a problem with the milk separating. Next time I'll just use broth.

I have had this stew cooking on HIGH for over 6 hours and the potatoes and carrots are still not done. Guess the 6 hours on LOW won't work either. Not sure yet how it tastes but the timing is totally OFF

Be Forewarned!! I made this stew for a big holiday party and the milk separated!! I had to literally take the entire stew and rinse it by handfuls to clean it, and then threw together a quick broth mix for it. (Luckily, everyone loved the broth mix, so they never knew). The recipe was fabulous other than that - I would definitely use it again, just not with the milk.

Way too many onions. I will make it again with 1/2 cup of chopped sweet onions, and cook on HIGH for 6 hrs. not low.
