In my slow cooker today...

  • I'm new to this slow cooker lark! Yesterday, I had Roast Chicken and had plenty of leftovers. I made stock from the carcass. Can I make a chicken casserole today using the stock and the cooked leftover chicken from yesterday?
    If so, does the cooked chicken go in the slow cooker at the beginning with the other ingredients, or should it go in later as its already cooked?

    Add thickener an hour before the end.
  • That's my problem - I can't really need to put stuff in the morning, then pop home at lunchtime and check on it - then when I get home - eat it as going straight out - .... damn it I knew this wouldn't work!! :(

    Thanks for replying though! :)

  • Little Emms,
    You can add a handful of barley at the start in the morning, and when you get home it will have thickened already. When I do this I find no need for cornflour or anything.
