This is a firm favourite in our household. I do like to coat the chicken in seasoned flour and sear first before putting in slow cooker. We had it on Tuesday this week, then with the leftovers, for the following night, after reheating, I shredded the chicken and added cooked pasta.

I didn’t really love this 😳 BUT I will say, to my shock, my 2 little ones ate it all up without a complaint which pretty much never happens so it was a win in that regard!

I made this recipe s couple of days ago and loved it. Even the fussy eaters in the house thought it was great. I add cooked rice for the last 30 mins which soaked up some of the liquid and was a great side. Yum!!!

Will 4 hours on low be enough for 1.5kg of roughly chopped breast?

I made it with pineapple juice as that was what I had in the house. I’ve had it with the apricot nector before as well and both were delicious! Such an easy dinner

This was the first time making this with the curry powder, such a simple recipe and so yummy, it was a big hit in this house hold and will certainly be making it again.

If you want a thicker sauce. Combine the French onion and nectar and heat up first like you are making soup, either in a sauce pan or slow cooker if it can do the temp. Once it thickens throw everything in. I find if you don’t it doesn’t thicken up. I also double both nectar and soup as we love sauce.

We like mashed potato and assorted side veg like peas, carrot and corn cobs

Giving the mango version a stab tonight…… Used chicken lovely legs, and had to sub spring veg soup as had no french onion, so added a diced carrot and some celery, plus some garlic and onion powder. Fingers crossed!! I’ll keep you posted 🙂

Would this work for a whole chicken to?

Depending on how many/how thick etc if they are whole I would reduce down to closer to 4hrs or a bit less 🙂

I love this recipe, have been cooking it for years when I had family at home loved by all (even the cat loved it, minus the onion ) only other thing I added was a tin of apricot halves.
