Don't bother using fresh tomatoes - imo it actually tastes better with tinned ones, and much less faff.

I make this regularly as it is a firm favourite. I use 2 tins of chopped tomatoes (one of them being chilli toms) instead of fresh and don't bother with the olives, sour cream and coriander. Delicious

I decided to make this chicken and chorizo stew in my slow cooker after seeing good reviews and positive comments. I followed the recipe exactly and was very disappointed as were my family. The dish was very bland and in my opinion, the ingredients did not work well together! I would not make this again.

I made a few tweaks for my tastes - no olives and half the chopped tomatoes - then added courgettes, peppers and some paprika. It was delicious!

The times for this dish seem to be based on cooking it on the hob. How long does it take in the slow cooker? Sorry to be thick, but i've just bought my slow cooker and haven't yet worked out how to adjust times on recipes in order to cook them in the slow cooker!

Really lovely, we left out the olives. I used the juice of a whole fresh lime and fat free creme fraiche on top(just a little) instead of sour cream. Fab!!

Done this in my slow cooker today and it was amazing. My 10 month old and 3 year old loved it. Hubby will be lucky to get his as I rather enjoyed mine too

Wonderful tasty stew that is a little different to the norm. My family loved it and it made a change to use chicken and chorizo without it being in a paella or on a pizza

This has become a firm favorite in our household. I made it for the first time about a year ago. I used left over chicken (usually from a roast the night before), it's a great way to use up your leftovers and make two meals out of one bird!
