So Ken hun a simple chicken casserole:
Not sure what kind of chicken you like but lets go with skinless breasts as it is the fat free version.
This recipe will serve 2/3 portions
2 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 large onion peeled and thinly sliced
1 clove garlic finely chopped
2 med carrots, peeled and chopped on the diagonal
2 sprigs fresh thyme or a teaspoon dried thyme
1 med sweet potato peeled and cubed
1 large leek washed, trimmed and sliced
1/2 cup frozen peas
1l veggie/chicken stock either fresh or powder/cube
2tbs cornflour mixed with cold water to make a thin paste.
Salt and Pepper
1 bay leaf
sprigs of parsley (optional)
100g Celery, chopped
Method:
Season the chicken and seal in a hot pan with a spritz of 1 cal oil spray or a dry fry with a little stock. Remove from pan and set aside.
Place a little stock in the pan, just enough to cover the bottom and bring to the boil, add the thyme, onion, celery and garlic, and sweat/saute until softened and golden brown.
Add the chicken and the rest of the ingredients except the cornflour mix and the peas. Cover with the remaining stock and simmer on a medium heat, until veg is softened and stock is reduced. Add the peas, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Stir the cornflour into the casserole and bring to the boil. - boil about 3 min to make sure the starch cooks out. You will have to guage things carefully with this as you don't want it too thick and gloopy. So add half the cornflour, cook it out, if it isn not thick enough add the other half.
Season to taste.
Ken this is just a random casserole recipe of things I think you are able to eat at this point of RTM. Obviously you can add other things, like potato, etc, or if you are having flour at this point, season some flour up and dust the chicken with this, before you seal it as this will thicken the sauce without the addition of the cornflour.
If you have any queries, PM me and I will give you my number, call me and I can talk you through it.
Good Luck Chef Ken!!!

I Can Do This!
Jez - Can this be made in a slow cooker? What about venison as a substitute for chicken - would the other ingredients work together the same?
What's the best beef and venison cuts for a slow cooker?
Hope you don't mind all the questions, but I so want to learn how to cook real flavoursome food that I can make for the family.
Thanks
