  • Cook on low for 4hrs
  • Remove chicken, shred, then return to pot
  • Stir through 150ml of cooking cream and continue cooking on low while you prepare potato topping
  • Peal, cut and boil potatoes on stove top until tender

  • Scatter with grated cheese and then cook for a further 30mins on high to melt cheese
  • Serve as a great one pot meal or with steamed greens if you choose
