Categories Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 leek, roughly chopped
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 onion, roughly chopped
350g new potatoes, roughly chopped
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, chopped
500ml chicken stock
4 tbsp vegetable gravy granules

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.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you're using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, and peas.
Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If necessary, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches.
Season the chicken and vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the chicken and vegetables. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
Cook the chicken and vegetables on low for 6-8 hours: This will allow the chicken and vegetables to cook slowly and evenly.
Serve the chicken and vegetables over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes: This dish is also great served with a side of salad.

This easy slow cooker chicken casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
