Honey & Mustard Chicken Casserole

Ingredients

  • Garlic
  • Chicken 
  • Broccoli
  • Carrots
  • Potatoes
  • Mushrooms
  • Cornflour
  • Mustard
  • Honey
  • Stock

A ‘dump bag’ is where you prepare all – or most – of the ingredients for a slow cooker meal by putting them into a bag and then freeze until you want to cook it.  When you are ready to cook, simply defrost thoroughly, ‘dump’ in the slow cooker and cook!

This recipe makes a great ‘dump bag’ meal.

Directions

For the ‘dump bag’:

  • Finely chop garlic
  • Peel carrots and potatoes, chop into chunks and add to bag.
  • Break the broccoli into florets, cut the tough outside skin off the stork and discard. Chop up the remaining stork and add to the bag
  • Chop mushrooms and chicken to desired size and add to bag.
  • Add a tablespoon of cornflour to the bag and shake.

When ready to use:

  • Empty bag into slow cooker. (If you have frozen the dump bag, make sure it is fully defrosted before using).
  • Add the stock, mustard, honey and 400-600ml of water (depending on how saucy you like it).
  • Cook on high for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon
  • Once cooked add cream and seasoning to taste and serve. (make sure the chicken is piping hot).
