Colorful. I love colorful food.
Tasteful. I love tasteful food. (Who doesn’t right?!)
What you see above is what came straight out of the slow cooker. No styling, no color editing…what you see is what you get. I think this is slow cooker food at its finest!
Oh…and the #2 reason that I love slow cooking…it’s usually “dump and run.” This is one such recipe…and I love that it literally is no fuss. No need to peak, stir, vent…nothing.
And the #1 reason…I can go about my afternoon and deal with the “attitudes of witching hour” without having to fuss with dinner prep.
But really they should be a tie. #1 and #2 reasons are equally important for this busy mama!

I will make this with ripe pears since pears are what we have right now. I look forward to making this tomorrow.
That sounds like a great idea! Did it work with the pears?!?

if using fresh tomatoes, what is the liquid?
Hey Amy,
The tomatoes and other veggies will make some liquid, so you don’t need to add any.

I would Love to try this dish I can’t have tomatoes can I substitute something else?

Making this now and smells great! I didn’t have time for the slow cooker so I am doing it cacciatore-style: sauté zucchini and onion, then brown chicken, then mix remaining ingredients. Top chicken with veggies and pour tomato-mango sauce over all; simmer covered for 35 minutes or so till chicken is done. Serving with rice.
sounds delicious

Any substitutes for red wine vinegar? I do not have any…
My family can’t have vinegar, we usually use fresh lemon juice. I think I am young to try this with lime juice, though.
Also I am starting this a little later than I wanted… Can I cook on high? And for how long?
Most crock pot recipes I’ve seen are 4-6 hrs on high or 6-8 on low.

The ingredients include red wine vinegar and olive oil – but they are not mentioned anywhere in the directions. When should they be used??
Sorry about that Celia…I’ve updated the recipe!

My Wife is (very) allergic to zucchini (and all summer squash). What would make a good substitution? How about some small red potatoes cut up?
Small potatoes would be great…or sweet potato chunks would complement the sweetness of the mango too! Hope you enjoy it!
