Slow Cooker Potato Leek Chicken Food

EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Put the veg and chicken in a slow cooker. Pour the stock over and around the chicken thighs, then mix in the gravy granules to thicken it up (the sauce will be quite thick - use less gravy if you prefer a runnier casserole).
• Switch the slow cooker to low and leave to cook for at least 4 hrs, or up to 8 hrs - try putting it on before you go to work, so that it's ready when you get home. Season well, then serve.

SLOW COOKER POTATO-LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Place potatoes and leeks in slow cooker. Sprinkle flour over and toss until well-coated. Add the chicken stock and stir, then add the dill and the chopped bacon. Mix well. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the soup until creamy (you can puree the whole pot or just some of it if you prefer a chunkier soup). Add salt and pepper to taste (I find a teaspoon or two of salt really helps boost the flavor).
• Stir in half and half and cheese (if using), then cover and heat an additional 15 minutes.
