Chicken casserole is a classic, and made to be a slow cooker recipe. Chicken becomes melt-in-the-mouth tender after a few hours of gentle simmering. Slow cookers maximise the flavours of your ingredients and for this one, we recommend browning the meat and veg beforehand, as it enhances the flavour of the dish even more overall.
