just made this today for dinner and boy was it a hit. I used the olives and a can of chiles and served it over thin spaghetti. I also used boneless skinless chicken breast and it was wonderful. I used plenty of cumin because I like things a bit spicey. Thank you for yet another wonderful dish!

Just had this for dinner, and it was delicious!!! Wonderful flavor! Jazzed it up with some Red Pepper Flakes. Otherwise made it as is.....lots of onion, bunches of olives, and sliced in half grape tomatoes. Next time, I think i will add in some mushrooms. And the next time will be VERY soon! LOVE!!

Gina- Love your recipes and your site so first of all thank you.I tried this recipe and it really lacked flavor to me. Did you really only mean 1/4 tsp. for the cumin and oregano for the spice with that much chicken and veggies. It just doesn't seem like enough. Even my husband and kids commented on how it just didn't have much flavor.

OMG!! I made this last night int he slowcooker and ate it today!! It was DELICIOUS!! Even my six year old cleared his plate!! I used cherry tomatoes and leg/thigh quarters. I also added a bit of Sazon...YUM, YUM, YUM!! Thanks for helping me add some versatility to my cooking :)

Do you think this would be "freezer friendly"?

I don't enjoy cooking much, but this looked like an easy (my kind) recipe. I cut all the vegetables in large pieces as my family is rather picky. My ten year old looked in the crock pot and said "I'm not eating all those vegetables!" I did not serve the olives, but cooked with them for the flavor. My son ate every bite, including the vegetables! This should make the top recipes of 2012!

Judging by the picture above the tomatoes appear to be chopped. I was wondering the same thing til I saw that.

I made this exact recipe last week. Followed every step to a "T". I don't know why but it really didn't have much taste. The smell was fantastic. Maybe because we live so close to the US and Mexico boarder we are use to more full flavors. Easy but tasteless. : (

Love this recipe. Served it over short grain brown rice and put some diced avocado in mine.. my husband is not a fan of avocado, perfect dinner to come home to on a cold night. Been eating leftovers for lunch last two days.

Made this with bone in thighs and it was very delicious. Next time I might add some tomato paste for a slightly thicker sauce. Kids went back for seconds. Thanks for another great recipe.

Gina I love your recipes. I just cooked this and it was delicious. My husband loved it and my daughter ate it all. It was so easy. The only change I did was I add an envelope of chicken bouillon instead of salt. Is official! Im addicted to your recipes.

2012-01-14T14:47:40.395-05:00

I have this in my crockpot now. Been simmering for two hours so far. Im cooking it on high for 4 hours. Noticed that the jar alcaparrado had pittedolives so i omitted the olivesand used the rest of the contents of tne jar instead. Smells great and i cant wait untilits done. Also added 2 clovesof garlic cause im a huge garlic fan!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful recipes! My family has really enjoyed everything I have made from this site so far. This one was a huge hit! I used chicken breast. My 17 year old son ate 3 helpings of this!

I got those orange bowls Home Goods. Aren't they pretty!!

The brine is the liquid from the olives. Sorry for the confusion.

I had a yellow pepper on hand, it was lovely but red, orange or green would be great too.

anonymous, I used alcaparrado which is a combo of olives, capers, pimentos. I used 2 tbsp. You can chop them if you want.

Trishc, yes I used a yellow bell pepper.

I would defrost the thighs.

Linda, I love all cuisines, but Latin is at the top of my list!!

I always thought Italian cuisine was my favorite, but you have me swaying toward Latin!! Love this dish, Gina. I, too, love these orange bowls and would like to order if possible. Love serving fab low-fat foods in beautiful serving dishes!! Thanks, Linda
