My Attempt
This slow cooker chicken recipe, requires you to do some prep on the hob in a frying pan. Including browning the chicken pieces first. And then frying the bacon and softening the leeks.
Slow Cooker Mustard Chicken and Bacon with Leeks Review
The ingredients list for this slow cooker chicken uses everyday items. A chicken dish flavoured with leeks, wholegrain mustard and smoked bacon.
This made a very tasty main meal. Delicious and filling British comfort food, at it’s best and simplest!
And with just a side helping of mashed potatoes. Made this an easy and complete slow cooker family dinner.
The only thing I had an issue with, is that the browning of the chicken, takes a bit of time. This also meant that the chicken was starting to cook through. So I feel that the recipe timings stated in the cookbook, could be reduced.
On the low setting, the timing given was 8 to 10 hours. But I found that the chicken was cooked through in less time than this. That said, as it is on the low setting, you could easily leave it on, for the full cooking time as per the cook book recipe. Without fear of overcooking the chicken.
I made this Slow Cooker Mustard Chicken and Bacon recipe in my Morphy Richards 3.5L Slow Cooker.
