Slow & Low Chicken-Bacon Casserole

Slow & Low Chicken-Bacon Casserole

with Potato Mash & Veggies

We love a slow-cooked meal! There’s something magic about being able to throw a bunch of ingredients into a pot, and come home later to a fully-formed meal. These chicken drumsticks will be falling apart by the time you’re ready to eat, in a rich tomato-based sauce with tender veggies and salty, savoury bacon. Pile it onto creamy mash and enjoy this warm and cosy meal.

Cooking Steps

1

• Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. Roughly chop celery. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken drumsticks, the plain flour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Shake off remaining flour and cook chicken drumsticks, turning, until browned on all sides, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.

2

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, carrot and celery, breaking up with a spoon, until tender, 4-6 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir through passata, chicken-style stock powder and the water. Transfer to slow cooker and set cooking temperature to high. • Place lid on slow cooker and cook, turning drumsticks each hour, until chicken is tender and the meat is falling off the bone, 4 hours.

3

• When the chicken has 25 minutes cook time remaining, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Peel potato, then cut into large chunks. Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • Drain and return potato to the pan. Add the butter and milk to potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

4

• When the casserole is done, add baby spinach leaves and stir until wilted. Season with pepper. • Divide potato mash, slow-cooked chicken and bacon casserole between bowls. Garnish with remaining chilli flakes. Enjoy!
