PERFECT -- I love crushing tomatos with my hands -- it gets out a lot of frustrations and feeds my family.
I'll be trying this one! Do you think it would hurt to cook on low for more than 6 hours?
If you cook this on low for more than 6 hours, I would add additional liquid. Otherwise, the chicken will dry out. I'd probably add extra chicken, too, just to have leftovers.
