Directions
1Add chicken drumsticks into slow cooker
2Sprinkle with the pepper, onion powder and paprika
3Use a stick blender or other processor to blend together the cooking cream, garlic, cornflour and semi dried tomatoes until all blended then pour over chicken
4Cover with tea towel trick and cook on Auto for 4hrs or Low for 5-6hrs
5Remove chicken from cooker gently into a bowl or tray, using a plastic whisk give the sauce a good stir, add spinach and cheese and stir again 🙂
6Return chicken to slow cooker and coat well with sauce and cook for an additional 30mins low
Notes
1You could reduce the number of chicken drumsticks to 1kg but keep the rest the same
2Be sure to use cooking cream if possible as it doesn't split when heated for long periods
3I served mine on a creamy mash and our recipe for Sweet Chilli Butter Broccoli as a side veg
4Low Carb friendly
5Cooked in my 7L Breville Searing slow cooker (reviewed on our SC review page)

I mixed the cream & sundried Tom. , cornflour etc but turned out like paste so can this still be used & will it melt down with the rest once cooking on heat?

Tried this the other day & what an awesome meal! Different to what I normally cook, so it’s awesome to have some different flavours. Will definitely be adding drumsticks into our regular rotation! 🙂

This is an absolute winner ! I used thighs instead of drumsticks and added an extra sprinkle of parmasen on our meals ! Delicious!

Wasn’t a fan. My two teenagers didn’t eat it either. They both took one bit of a drumstick and didn’t eat anymore. I think whenever cooking cream is involved, the recipe doesn’t suit our taste as a family. It’s too rich.

Absolutely loved this. Seared off 2 onions with some garlic, ginger and s&p before adding everything else.
Definitely making again

I tried this recipe. It turned out delicious. I cooked it for a total of 6 hours. Chicken was falling off the bone. I served it with mashed potato and steamed vegies.

I did find this a little flavourless, so ended up pulling the chicken apart and tossing through pasta with some extra ingredients. Kids loved it.

Very scrumptious and full of flavour.
I did sear the chicken legs in my searing slow cooker. Also pulled meat off the bone before adding back to bowl (mainly because I overcooked it 😂)
Simply divine
Most definitely having again!

We had this for dinner last night and didn’t like it at all. It lacked flavour and was very unpleasant.

We tried it last night but weren’t fans. The chicken didn’t have much flavor.

Hi
I’ve just blended in ther thermomix the cooking cream, semi dried tomatoes, garlic and cornflour. It’s come out like paste consistency, was this correct ??? Not sure if it was meant to be more runny
Thanks

Instead of using drumsticks, I used 4 chicken breasts and just shredded them. And put it on a base of mash.
Whilst I enjoyed it very much, I think next time I would rather try putting it on some pasta or rice.

Cooking cream is one that resists splitting when heated. More info HERE

Hi Paulene, if i swapped the semi dried tomatoes for a tin of diced tomatoes, would i terminally effect texture or flavour?

Ive cooked this on multiple occasions using thighs and drumsticks always doubling the recipe and it turns out perfect every time
Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central
November 26, 2018
I haven’t tried but I think you could if you prefer 🙂 Just add a tsp or two of cornflour to it first to help prevent splitting

Coconut cream or milk, instead of dairy milk, would that work?

I’m thinking it may not?

Would Philadelphia cream for cooking do the job? My local supermarket doesn’t have any other kind of cooking cream. Thanks in advance

Made this tonight with four large chicken breasts instead, and added in sliced onion as someone had suggested. Brilliant.
Cooked for 4.5hrs on low, then did the extra half hour with the spinach and cheese.
All plates licked clean!
Absolute winner.
