delicious as a soup! short on time and having read mixed reviews on what to expect regarding amount of beans/tomatoes/liquid and the dish drying up/burning, i used 2 cans of tomatoes (1 regular, 1 Italian) and 2 cans of great northern beans. added extra salt, pepper, basil, about half a tablespoon of garlic and some white wine. cooked for 4 hours on high and shredded the (very tender) chicken breasts near the end.01/10/10

It is rare that you get a recipe that is easy to make and delicious. I made this for the first time tonight and it may very well enter into our permanent rotation. After reading the reviews, I added 1 tsp. Herbs de Provence. I also added 3/4 cup stock and made this with split chicken quarters (what we had on hand). I would add more beans and tomatoes to stretch out the recipe even more. I served it with egg noodles and a green salad.10/06/09
