Defrost overnight and cook on low in slow cooker for 6-8 hrs on low, or 3-4 hrs on high.
Check to make sure chicken is cooked through before serving as timings may change due to size of chicken breasts.
How long can this go in the freezer for please?
Hi Susan, each freezer varies so it’s best if you check your manufacturer’s guidelines – usually 1-3 months is recommended depending on your freezer. Make sure the food is well sealed and you’ve got as much air out as possible to stop freezer-burn and keep the flavour. All the best.
Smells amazing. So looking forward to more recipes.
Hi Shona, that’s great – more recipes coming every week. Happy batching
Can you use something else other than parsley?
some thyme or oregano would work well instead of parsley. Hope this helps!
This is very similar to a recipe I do with lamb, although I do give the lamb a quick brown in a pan before putting it in the slow cooker. I used neck fillet or lamb chops.
I must try it with chicken m it looks lovely.
Lovely recipe but the sauce very watery. Can I add cornflour to thicken it up?
yes a little cornflour mixed with some cold water will help to thicken the sauce
Can you do this recipe in the instant pot on the slow cooker function? Does it work?
I haven’t tried in the instant pot but im sure it would work no problem
Can you cook this in the oven? I don’t have a slow cooker but it sounds good
Yes you could, I would cook in the oven at around 140oc for 2-3 hours checking to see when chicken is cooked and soft. Make sure to wrap well in tin foil. Hope this helps!
Super easy, smells great, tastes great but the chicken was dry, should I be doing something differently?
Oh sorry to hear that, let me have another look at the recipe and get back to you. I would advise cooking on high rather than low if you can as the chicken can dry out a little the longer it is cooked for
I would love for you let us know how long you would recommend to cook all your Dump recipes in a Pressure Cooker. Love all your recipes BTW xx
Love it actually I used frozen/fresh tarragon instead of parsley
