    My family loved this. I will definitely make this recipe again. But I am not sure the step of browning added anything. I agree with another comment that the flavor seemed to be left on the bottom of the pot. The chicken thighs were falling apart and couldn’t be sliced, but the shredded chicken was great in tacos. I will reduce the cooking time by a couple of minutes next time.

    I made this tonight- marinated an hour. The directions have you brown the chicken, then put it on a trivet to cook. I feel like all that flavor on the bottom of the pot goes to waste. Then, it calls for 15 minutes, which was too long and the thighs tasted a bit dried out. Ok flavor, not great. I made the salsa but forgot it in the fridge, I'm sure that didn't help. Not sure I would try this one again, or if I did, I'd make a braise out of it on the stovetop.
