5 spice powder helps to give this hearty stew a bit of an Asian taste. Good served over rice, or, add cooked rice to the slow cooker at the end of cooking time, instead.

This is my kind of meal! I like to use breasts though, so I wonder if they would get dry cooking this long in the crock pot. I can just make this on the stove top too though. Has the kind of spice I like.


No, no, boneless, skinless breasts are fine, dd, that's what I use. You'll prolly wanna up the heat a touch, as I do, but it's easily adaptable.
