Ingredients
 

  • 1 x 400g can of condensed cream of chicken soup (no water added)
  • 300ml cooking cream
  • 1tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1T wholegrain seeded mustard
  • 1 hot cooked BBQ chicken, meat shredded from the bones
  • 1 x 500g bag of frozen broccoli florets (defrosted while the early steps cook)
  • 250g raw macaroni pasta shells
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 cups grated cheese

Instructions
 

  • Add soup, cream, pepper and mustard to 6L slow cooker
  • Cook on high for 45mins
  • Add chicken and cook on high for an additional 45mins
  • Add broccoli, pasta and milk and cook on high for an additional 45mins – or until pasta is cooked to your liking (if it needs extra time in your cooker it may need additional milk – just watch it doesn’t dry out)
  • Stir through grated cheese and leave for approx. 5mins to melt prior to serving
  • Note: Cooking cream is one that resists splitting when heated. If you only have regular thickened cream, stir through 1-2 tsp cornflour to it first to help prevent splitting.
