Can you do this with a defrosted turkey breast in slow cooker?

Well you could thicken the end cooking juices I guess and use that as more of a sauce š Over heat with some cornflour slurry

That won’t have the same sweetness but liquid to liquid volume would still work but won’t be same result taste wise š

Hi, this looks lovely yum. just wondering if there was a way to make more of a sauce of this recipe, without losing the essence or flavour of the recipe. š

Hi Paulene,

I haven’t tried to but I would suggest keeping potato very small cut if you want it to cook through well in the time it has š

AMAZING!! Love this and a hit with the family.. Only had 2 chicken breasts so halved the spices and there was still a good kick of heat to it. I saved the juice at the bottom of the dish and put it on the table for the family to add extra if they wished and that they did. Will definitely be making again.. Thank you.

Very nice flavour but i really like my spice so will add extra chilli kick next time. I made the mistake of draining the juices with 30 min to go to flavour my boiled rice. Dried out the chicken a bit but a good lesson!!

Yummy! I do mine with drum sticks and always forget to marinate. The flavours are good. I must try marinating, when I remember.
