winter warmer chicken casserole recipe

It’s Winter and that can only mean one thing………slow cooker season! Aren’t slow cookers great, you just chuck everything in there, turn it on and leave it…..the perfect recipe for a some healthy, winter comfort food. Here is the perfect winter warmer for you….a tasty chicken casserole recipe for you to try. I like to make it with Italian herbs, but you could take out the olives and add Indian spices for a different twist.

This recipe serves 4 people so is a great family recipe, or you can portion up for your lunches and evening meals when life is busy!

Ingredients

1 brown onion, finely chopped

8 x chicken thighs

2 x teaspoons olive oil

2 x garlic cloves, crushed

1 x yellow pepper, sliced

2 x handfuls black olives

400g tin of chopped tomatoes

250g fresh cherry tomatoes (you can use x2 tins of chopped tomatoes instead but I find adding fresh tomatoes gives the sauce a really nice flavour.

1 x vegetable or chicken stock cube

200g mushrooms, sliced

1-2tsp Italian mixed herbs

Method

It couldn’t be more simple, chuck everything in the slow cooker, place on a low setting and leave to this chicken casserole recipe to cook for around 6-8 hours. Delicious!
