How do i make a traditional chicken casserole?

JoJoB

My friend cooked me a lovely curried vegetable casserole the other night which i am trying to replicate right now. The main difference is that she made it in a slow cooker and i haven't got one, so just doing it on the hob on a low heat.

Basically, you bung 1 can chick peas, 1 can sweetcorn and 1 can kidney beans in the slow cooker. Add selection of veg, cut quite chunkily. I am using sweet potato, green peppers, butternut squash, carrot, onion, mushrooms, parsnips (today was veg shopping day so i had quite a selection!)

Cook in the slow cooker along with the following spices: tumeric, curry powder, chilli powder, garam masala, for one hour (not sure of the quantity of spices, I've used between 1-2 tsps of each, will adjust to taste later in cooking).

After an hour add 2 tins chopped tomatoes and 1/2 a can of water. Continue cooking till veg is soft and yummy.

Makes a very nice spicy veg casserole. Very wholesome, would be good served with a big chunk of bread and butter rather than rice I think. And as it is so healthy you can have guilt-free second helpings. :T

Agh my post just got eaten!

What I was asking was how do I make chicken casserole? Recipes on the internet seem too fancy for me!

I have a casserole veg casserole pack from Tesco, chicken which I shall be getting tomorrow and a chicken casserole packet mix.

Do I put the veg in the pan, simmer for a while then add cooked chicken and make the sauce? Do I need to use flour, i've seen this in some recipes?

Thank you!

I would probaly follow the recipe on the pack! but if if states to use raw chick then add the chick just before the sauce - as long as its heated right though then it will be ok
I do left chicken cass. by...
cooking veg -onion etc fryed the rest boiled
once at high heat - add cooked chicken cut into bite sized bits
Heat 20 min to 1/2 hr or until I think bits are warmed/heated completely
thats it!

yours ..I would put frozen? veg in casserole with cold chick & sauce packet made up with cold water & slam in oven (or slow cooker) around 3pm to serve at 6ish - but I'm lazy with casseroles lol too be honest 1&1/2hrs should be more than enough

Possibly because the default search is set to only look back for one month.

See this thread for how to set your search up:-

I searched but couldn't find anything ( quick search help )

What does cook chicken in frying pan until 'sealed' mean?

Also I have a dish for the oven but it doesn't have a lid, should I put some foil over the top instead?

Thanks!

I've answered you in the quick questions thread.

You only need to ask in one place, honest

I only like chicken breast and am wondering if anyone has a good old fashioned recipe for chicken casserole - don't want to use packet mixes or anything.

Thanks.
