Heat the oil in a large pan and brown the chicken oil all sides.
Transfer to the slow cooker bowl.
Add the bacon, oil ions, garlic, carrots and celery and gently
fry for about 4 minutes. Stir in the Flour and then gradually add
the stock, tomato puree, mixed herbs and seasoning.
Bring to the boil stirring continuously. Pour over the chicken.
Cook for 6 – 8 hours on low.
Serving suggestion:
Adjust seasoning after cooking and serve with new potatoes. If the
sauce is too thin, transfer to a pan and thicken using a little
cornflour.
I used chicken thighs browned them first but didnt cook any of the veg. I put in potato, carrot, chili, garlic, brocoli too put a splash or 2 of light soy sauce and fish sauce to give it some extra taste! delicious!

Lovely. Used portions instead of breast and removed the skin so less fat.
1 cup is 237ml in case anyone doesn't know.
Yes you can just pop it all in the pot with the flour without frying. However frying seals the meat and gives the veg a bit more flavour but should be tasty without.t will

Has anyone made this without browning the meat or frying the veg? Just wondered if it makes a big difference? If so, did you just put the flour in the pot with everything or leave it out? I know it's meant to thicken the sauce but didn't want it to clump up if it wasn't fried off.

There is not enough stock to cover the dish in the slow cooker, my instruction guide says all food must be immersed.

Hi Georgia and others who have large slow cookers. you can always put a smaller quantity in the slow cooker and it will still work out fine. If the quantities are really small, you can put them inside a glass container then put them inside the slow cooker. This is that we do with the baby food recipes.

The best slow cooker recipe I have tried! I am a childminder and the casserole was eaten by all - even my own fussy eaters. The sauce was just so tasty and a beautiful colour and the chicken so tender. I had 5 children to feed and multiplied the amounts by 3 and used 400ml stock.

A great casserole to warm the cockles. Ideal as a meal alone and you can add anything else you want to - I added extra carrots, broccoli, peppers and aubergine (a little soft as cooked for a while - but v tasty), love this and will make it one of my favourite dishes. Also very good with home made rosemary focaccia!

This recipe is delish! I'd run out of tomato puree so used half can of chopped tomatoes instead and used more bacon too - scrummy!

My first slow cooker recipe and it was lovely even though I substituted all the veg! I also used frozen chicken breasts and it turned out lovely.

This was the first thing I cooked in my first ever slow cooker. Very easy, tho I started to brown things off as stated but gave up as the whole point is that I can chuck it all in and go to work!!! We all loved it. Used big chunks of chicken tho enough to feed the 5 of us and I think next time I would maybe spice it up a bit but the flavour was still lovely.

Ours looked nothing like the pic. We didn't add onion, or carrot, or celery. We didn't brown the chicken, we used ketchup instead of tomato puree. Strange thing is, it looked a lot nicer than the pic and tasted GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!

I used all above but added small chunks of butternut squash, 4 fresh tomatoes and instead of mixed herbs used 1/2 tsp of turmeric when softening onions, and added 1tsp paprika and 2 tsp cider vinegar to veg. Really tastes fresh, summer like, and perfect for a spring supper.

on your home page it says the crock pot is the only thing that is used, but in this recipe you got to use another pan.

Looks like this serves just 2, given the ingredients. Personally, I'd triple it and then freeze the remainder.
