A great way to use up leftover cooked chicken, or simply grab a hot chicken on the way home from work and enjoy a one-pot fuss-free recipe that cooks relatively ‘fast’ in your slow cooker ?
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.
