Instructions
- Brown chicken pieces in frypan. (You can skip this but I add some stock to the pan after to scrape up all the bits and add to the sc)
- Chop up onion, mushrooms and potatoes.
- Place the chicken and potatoes in the bottom of the sc.
- pour everything else over the top.
- Give it a stir to mix everything through.
- Cook on low 6 - 7 hours or until chicken is done.
- If sauce is too runny you can add some cornflour mixed with water to thicken it about 30mins before serving.
- I sometimes take mine out and put it in the oven to thicken.
- Serve over cheesy polenta or pasta.

Tastes really good! Left lid off for an hour or so to reduce/thicken it up
I halved the ingredients and left out the stock. I added green peppercorns, a little chopped pumpkin, cauli & broccoli.
Even with the T-towel method there was still too much juice so I added a few gravy granules to thicken it. Turned out perfect and quite flavoursome.
