My gang came round yesterday and I made a chicken casserole, thinking it would be less work ! :smiley: I'm a beef stew kind of girl and I don't think you can beat a good beef stew, but DIL doesn't eat red meat, so Chicken it was. I was disappointed with my efforts, although DIL and son were polite.
I used both breast and thighs, onion, carrot, potatoes, a chicken stock pot, salt and black pepper - I added douuble cream towards the end of cooking. I think it was a bit tasteless, it needed bacon !
Anyone got a favourite recipe for this ?
What is the difference betwen a casserole and a stew? Aren't they both a random mix of meat veg and stock or a bag of mix bunged in a slow cooker?
Casserole is the posh word :grin:
Ah I see. That must be why I don't have stew just casseroles.

I just used my hands when I cooked.
Took a moment! 😃🤣😄

Better late than never !
I always use plenty of herbs in chicken casseroles. A very tasty alternative it us to use sauce Bolognaise as the base with the meat cut into bite size pieces (I actually use sliced cooked breast, as I am bone idle) plus mushrooms and onions and again herbs and a bit of garlic. Tasteless it isn't!
Yes, a Bolognese is tasty, I've always made that with beef, never thought of using chicken though. On Sunday I wanted a creamy sauce, probably should have used more herbs than I did.
Garlic is guaranteed to add flavour.
Yes that was something else I left out !
Touch of red wine. Cornflour to thicken.

I did use cornflour but red wine nah, didn't want a pink sauce :grin:
Well,... You won't be bringing that dish to the table again..
Another one bites the dust.. :smiley:
I bet there are frozen left overs....
Give it 6 months in the freezer and she will be trying to guess what it is ... :smiley: :smiley:

Nope no leftovers, strangely enough....
Went down well then so you are worrying over nothing.
I'm not worrying my lad will eat anything ! DIL not so much.....
