Notes
Top Tips!
If you find the sauce isn’t thickening, mix some cold water with a tsp of plain flour and add to the casserole whilst it’s cooking.
If you want to add some extra flavour to your casserole, you could try a bay leaf, a sprinkling of thyme or swap your chicken stock for vegetable stock.
If you want to bulk up your casserole, try adding some chickpeas, beans or new potatoes.
For this particular dish, we used our 5kg boneless and skinless chicken thighs. Fancy a beef recipe? Try our tantalising slow cooker beef stew for another winter warming dish, made using our very own beef brisket.
Always ensure meat is cooked thoroughly before serving.
