This is an excellent recipe! I also left out the wine and cream and only used 2 chicken breasts, and added a diced apple and an extra carrot as someone recommended in comments. It only needed to bake for 30 minutes and made a nice stew. I served it with hot steamed white rice scooped on top of the bowl of stew. Very simple and delicious - I will definitely make this again!

My family really enjoyed this meal. I cooked it as instructed and it came out perfect but was more like a stew than a casserole. Some buns or garlic bread on the side is all this meal needed, easy and simple to make... I will definitely be making this again.

I made a few changes to this recipe and although my husband and toddler loved it, I think it still needs some improvements. I made it with yams because that's what I had at home. I also added some yellow squash which resulted in a thicker sauce. I didn't add the wine but next time I will. Added whole milk instead of cream since that's what I had. Served it with rice. I will definitely make it again but will likely add more spices (maybe some thai spices) and wine.

I used a few of the suggestions from others (adding rice, no wine, no cream/milk). This recipe at the most was edible. I will not be trying this recipe again. :(

I give this 5 stars, but it must be noted that I made a lot of adjustments according to the suggestions: I added 1 Tbs ginger with the garlic and onions and also used a Moroccan spice when cooking the chicken to add some flavor to the dish...I also added chopped pumpkin with the carrot and sweet potato because I needed to use it up! Since everyone talked about how watery this dish was I cut back the liquid to one cup and about 3/4 cup wine plus I put in 3/4 cup uncooked rice to help soak up the fluid and to make it more of a casserole. About 30 min. into the cooking it was getting quite dry so I added in another 3/4 cup liquid salt/pepper and let it cook for another 15 min. This was beautiful!! My only comment for next time is that I will try and use a dryer wine. I only had a Sav so that's what I used, but I think it made it a bit more sweet....Overall a great dish and something different!!

My grandma loves this casserole. I add extra garlic and throw in some curry, and she likes it because the flavors are strong enough for her to taste. I save time by using frozen sweet potato fries instead of an actual sweet potato.

I prepared 2 servings. Left out the cream and white wine. I added one diced apple and 2 more carrots. I also increased the garlic to 2 cloves and it wasn't a bit overpowering. As other reviewers did, I added some spices - generous shake of pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg). By leaving out some of the liquid ingredients, I ended up with just a little nice sauce at the bottom. Adding the apple really mellows the taste of the chicken broth. We ate it all on its own; no rice or bread. Great fall recipe. My husband and I really loved it! With extra veggies & fruit and without the cream, it feels healthy too!

We have made this twice now and love it. Instead of the carrots we used turnips that last time. My husband cant stop eating it.

It's okay with modifications, easy enough. I used two large sweet potatoes, two carrots, and two stalks of celery. After sauteeing the veggies, I put them in a crock pot, then browned the chicken and added 2T of curry, 2t of cayenne, and 1T of oregano. I added the chicken to the veggies in the crock, omitted the wine, and just used two cups of water and one chicken bullion cube. I liet it cook on high for about 2 hours, then added a few T of cream. It was good, tasty, but really not outstanding. And to those commenters complaining about the chopping, buy a cuisinart!
