With my daughter recently starting a low fodmap diet meal planning has been tricky. Thank you slow cooker central for this delicious recipe. Gluten free and lactose free was brilliant. I did leave out the onion and substituted with the green part of the spring onion to cater to my daughters dietary requirements. Yum yum yum family hit!!!
Well, this is a keeper!! So simple to prep, I used a bag of frozen stew veg instead of swede, onion and carrot and didn’t have any spinach so didn’t add that at the end. Even my 4 year old who yucks everything gobbled it up! I’ve frozen loads for pie, pasta, mashed potato or rice. An absolute stable thank you
Tasty Chicken recipe.
Served with mashed potato.
Thank you for your review Nadine! 🙂
