Slowcookedchickencasserole Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a knob of butter and ½ tbsp rapeseed or olive oil in a large frying pan, cook 1 finely chopped large onion for 8-10 mins until softened and starting to caramelise.
• Meanwhile, put 1 ½ tbsp flour and a little salt and pepper in a bowl and toss 650g boneless, skinless chicken thigh fillets in it.
• Add 3 crushed garlic cloves and the chicken to the pan and cook for 4-5 mins more until the chicken is starting to brown.
• Transfer to your slow cooker, along with 400g halved baby new potatoes, 2 diced celery sticks, 2 diced carrots, 250g quartered mushrooms, 15g dried and soaked porcini mushrooms with the 50ml soaking liquid, 500ml chicken stock, 2 tsp Dijon mustard and 2 bay leaves.
• Give it a good stir. Cook on Low for 7 hours or High for 4 hours.
• Remove the bay leaves and serve with a little Dijon mustard on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange chicken in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk in a small bowl; mix well. Pour over the chicken.
• Toss stuffing mix with melted butter in a bowl, adding hot water to moisten. Sprinkle stuffing over chicken in the casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Brown chicken in frying pan then transfer to casserole dish.
• Fry bacon until crisp, add this to chicken.
• Lightly fry mushrooms until cooked (I add the pepper while the mushrooms are cooking); add to chicken.
• After mushrooms have been transferred from pan to casserole dish, add diced potatoes to frying pan. Add mixed herbs to potatoes and fry until lightly golden. Add this to casserole dish.
• pour chicken stock over mixture in casserole dish and then cooked in oven on low temperature for 2-3 hours.
• half an hour before serving turn oven up to moderate to high heat and add cream to casserole dish. If desired add cornflour to cream to thicken sauce.
• This can be done in a slow cooker instead of oven.
• As a variation white wine can be used instead of stock. I change the herbs I use each time depending on what I have available.

Steps:

• Put the veg and chicken in a slow cooker. Pour the stock over and around the chicken thighs, then mix in the gravy granules to thicken it up (the sauce will be quite thick - use less gravy if you prefer a runnier casserole).
• Switch the slow cooker to low and leave to cook for at least 4 hrs, or up to 8 hrs - try putting it on before you go to work, so that it's ready when you get home. Season well, then serve.
