Slow Cooker Chicken Casserole

Ingredients:

• 400g chicken breast
• 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 400g new potatoes
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 450ml chicken stock
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tsp dried thyme 
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp cornstarch or flour mixed with 2 tbsp water (for thickening)
• 50ml milk
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Blendship Salt, Pepper, Garlic
• 1 tsp Blendship All Purpose
• 1 tsp Blendship Lemon Pepper
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear the chicken breast on both sides until golden brown. This step adds flavour but is optional if you’re short on time.
2. Place chopped carrots, potatoes, onion, garlic, and celery into the slow cooker.
3. Add the seared chicken breast on top of the vegetables. Mix the chicken stock, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste and seasonings and then pour over the top. 
4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
5. 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cornstarch/flour mixture to thicken the sauce. Add in the Dijon mustard and milk and let it cook for the remaining time uncovered if you want a thicker consistency.
6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
