In my slow cooker today...

Ok, this is what I've now got cooking today (a combination of ideas and recipes picked up across the forum) ....

Italian Chicken

4 chicken breast
1/4 cup flour
salt & pepper
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp paprika
tin chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato puree
1/2 cup chicken stock
dash worcestershire sauce (I add it to everything!)
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (could use dry)
2 cloves garlic, chopped or minced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2-3 courgettes, sliced
salt & pepper to taste


*Combine flour, cheese, paprika, s & p and coat chicken breasts with mixture.
*Combine tomatoes, puree, chicken stock, basil, garlic and season.
*Place sliced vegetables in bottom of pot and pour over tomato sauce.
*Place coated chicken breasts on top of vegetables and sauce.
*Cook on low as per your usual timings (5-6 hrs?)

I'll probably serve it with pasta or if I'm really good today may even make a foccaccia bread to mop up the juices

sausage casserole with 6 HUGE fat beef sausages, red yellow and orange peppers, an onion, a bayleaf, 500ml of HM chicken stock and a spoonful of cajun spice mix from the west indian grocer's.
Having it with a choice of rice or bread.

Some good friends of mine will be stopping by this evening with the express intention of treating me to a chinese meal. This is really great because I haven't had one for oh, more than four years now. The nearest take-away places don't deliver, and a taxi out here from in town makes the cost of a meal a joke.

Anyway, they were concerned about safe parking so in the end we decided to go fetch a takeaway from the one nearest to my village on the edge of town and that way I get the doggy-bag.

Better still I'll be able to buy a complete meal and stash it away in the freezer!

To top this off... I've made some pancakes and stuffed them with cherry pie filling.

Heaven

:j Well done, squeaky, glad you're now known by the name you wanted :T

I'm pleased you didn't change your avatar ... I wouldn't have recognised you

Enjoy your Chinese - scrumptious!

Our plans have altered, my dh is treating us tonight because today he has finally (finger's X'd) reached the end of a particular career project which he has been focused on for roughly 18mths (to the exclusion of all else - hopefully he'll recognise who we all are that will be sat around the table with him ) Fair enough, he won't know for *certain* for a few more days, but at least the bulk of the stress and pressure is off - PHEW!!!!
