Directions
1Place all Ingredients (apart from spinach) into slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours add the spinach about 30 minutes before serving just to soften it.
Notes
1If cream splits add 1tbs or cornflour to 1-2 Tbs or water mix and pour into slow cookers and mix well and it should fix that problem. Alternatively you can add the cream when you add your spinach.
2Serve with pasta cooked as per packet directions and a good sprinkle of Parmesan
3I almost used a full packet of penne this made enough for 4 people

Tried this last night and my partner and I loved it.
I made a couple of very minor tweaks that I will definitely repeat next time:
– Added some bacon and gave it and the chicken a light sear the start
– Half way through the cook, added some sliced mushrooms
– Added the cream and the spinach at the same time close to the end (as suggested as an option in the recipe)
– Half cooked the pasta in a pot to start with and then added it in at the end to finish off.
I have been instructed to put this on the “We must do this regularly” list !

Love this dish but next time I might try gnocchi instead of pasta and see how that works out.

Really easy dish to make and totally yum. I put extra chicken in as I had 2 packs (1.7kg in total) and an extra 3/4 cup of water then I put a whole packet of pasta in 40 mins to the end and it cooked perfectly. I kept the rest of the ingredients the same quantities as the recipe and it was really tasty and made 8 portions
