Delicious and so easy
brilliant to hear 🙂
Can you you add frozen spinach to this? Thanks
yay that would work brilliantly!
Absolutely perfect family meal!
Do you have to add the cream? Thanks x
no not at all, it just adds a little extra creaminess
I add cocunut cream to mine works brilliantly
I have not made this yet but going to. I am new to batch cooking and 72 years old and never too old to learn.
Hi there can you use chicken breast instead – would it not be as good? Thanks
(ps I’ve already made it with thighs and it was delish – I just have some chicken breasts I could use up!)
Yes it works with chicken breast too, you might just want to reduce the cooking time by half an hour or so to make sure that the chicken doesn’t dry out. Hope that helps!
Does it need to be a slow cooker? Can you cook it on the hob?
Thanks ❤️
no need to be cooked in the slow cooker, hob works great or you can tip it into an ovenproof dish and cook in the oven at 160oc for 1.30-2 hours until the chicken is tender. 🙂
hello, love your recipes and cooked this before – yummy. I cut the thighs up before freezing, presumably this is correct judging by the picture or do you by chance put them in whole, sorry it seems a silly question….but i may as well ask as time is time….
I just added them in whole and then shredded with a fork once cooked but either works great!
This is one of our favourite recipes! I add a can of coconut milk.. delicious 😋
Can this be frozen once it is cooked?
yes as long as the chicken is now been frozen before hand 🙂
Do I need to use frozen ginger, onion, or garlic? Thanks, I look forward to using your recipes while we have a house reno!
no you can use fresh if you prefer 🙂
Hi Suzanne what could replace the double cream with lighter version?Many thank
yes no probs you certainly could 🙂
