Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken- an easy slow cooker version of the classic Jamaican marinated chicken. Packed full of flavour and delicious served with coconut rice. Jump to Recipe I LOVE Jerk chicken. Love it. I quite often make it as a traybake dish with sweet potatoes and peppers. But, what could be better than coming home, walking in the door and smelling jerk chicken almost ready to serve? That's the joy of this slow cooker recipe- just throw it all in and leave to cook. It has all the traditional jerk herbs and spices, that make that spicy, zesty marinade work so well. I like to use chicken breasts so that, once the chicken is cooked, you can shred it easily through the remaining sauce and use it in a variety of ways- with coconut rice, in sandwiches, over jacket potato and so on. You can easily substitute chicken thighs though, if you prefer to serve it as whole pieces of chicken. Looking for more slow cooker chicken recipes?

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken- spicy, shredded BBQ chicken made in the slow cooker. Perfect for sandwiches. Jump to recipe I love BBQ flavours, don't you? It's such a relief that you can make BBQ meats in the slow cooker too. It doesn't matter if it rains or shines (usually rain here in the UK), the BBQ food can still go ahead. I have made BBQ Beef in the slow cooker for quite some time and, like this BBQ chicken, it's absolutely delicious in sandwiches. Pop over to the recipe and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. This BBQ chicken recipe packs a bit more punch than the beef as it has added jalapenos. If spicy, spicy isn't your thing, just leave them out and you'll get enough spice from the chilli powder. As with all slow cooker recipes, just whack everything in, leave it to cook and then all you need to do is shred the chicken and put it inside a lovely, soft roll with coleslaw, lettuce, whatever floats your boat!

Garlic Chicken and Leek Potato Bake- a creamy, delicious garlic, chicken and leek bake with peas and potatoes layered over the top. Filling winter comfort food. Jump to Recipe We have been enjoying Salmon and Broccoli Potato Bake so much during the cold weather that I was keen to come up with a bit of a spin on the recipe.This garlic chicken and leek potato bake is the happy result of that effort. This version of the bake has chicken pieces and sliced leeks and peas in a garlicky, creamy sauce with sliced potatoes on top. It's just the right kind of recipe to feed a family on a chilly evening- It does not disappoint! You might want to serve it with some more greens on the side for bonus veg content. Broccoli or cabbage goes well. I would happily eat it in summer with a side salad too.

Chicken and Sweetcorn Pasta Bake- a filling, comforting, cheesy pasta bake with chicken and sweetcorn. Jump to recipe Well, well, well! It's snowing here, and not just an ickle bit of snow dusting the pavement. It's a full on deluge (well, by British standards anyway) of 12+ cms! It's seems timely then (and almost like I planned it) that I am posting a lovely, warm, comforting pasta bake recipe today. A good pasta bake is just the thing on a cold winter's day. It's n easy, child-friendly meal that's pretty low cost and it can be made in bulk- all persuasive arguments for having several yummy pasta bake recipes up your sleeve. These are two that I really love at the moment: Bolognese Bake (my favourite!) Macaroni Cheese with Bacon This recipe for chicken and sweetcorn pasta bake is essentially a chicken twist on tuna pasta bake. P asta, chicken and sweetcorn smothered in c heesy, creamy sauce. It's great for using up leftover roast chicken. If you don't...

The Best Chicken Marinade- a simple marinade for chicken, packed full of flavour. Perfect for when you want to chargrill your chicken. Jump to recipe You're about to read about the BEST chicken marinade (in my humble opinion) and once you try it, I promise you'll keep going back again and again and again. I'm not usually one to boldly proclaim that my recipes are the 'best ever' because there are so many amazing recipes out there and it really depends on personal preference. That being said- you must try this marinade! I keep trying to describe the flavour and just coming up with yummy, delicious, juicy (is juicy a flavour???) er delicious... and other hopeless descriptions. All I can really say is that it's the ultimate chicken marinade and you won't be disappointed if you try it. I love marinated chicken. I have a couple of marinades on the blog already: Spicy Maple Chicken and Sweet Smoked Paprika Chicken and I quite often have a lot of fun playing ab...

Well the weather here has certainly turned. Below zero temperatures and even some of the white stuff! The change in temperature had me craving something warm and comforting, so I made a nice big batch of chicken stew in the slow cooker last week. Chicken stew is full of flavour just cooking in its own stock, but I wanted to boost that even more by adding rosemary. Chicken and rosemary are a classic flavour combination- so delicious together. The smell of the rosemary floating up the stairs, while it was cooking during the evening, was torture. I had to close all the doors to stop us from drooling! When we could finally eat it the following evening, it didn't disappoint and the rosemary flavour totally makes it, if I do say so myself! I'm sure that using the slow cooker really helps the depth of that flavour as well. I had made a great big batch, so the rest was swiftly split between plastic containers ready for lunches. I used chicken breasts for the Rosemary Chicken Stew becau...

We visited family in Canada earlier this year; beautiful place, lovely people. At the end of our holiday, I carefully transported some genuine Canadian maple syrup back in my suitcase, wrapped in ziplock bags and a layer of socks! it was the good stuff, A-grade, and tasted absolutely a world away from the nasty slop from the bottom of the barrel that they export to Europe. Wise people, keeping the good stuff for themselves! The bottle's half-empty now, and I know I won't be able to go back to the low-grade syrup that we used to buy. So, in celebration of of the delicious maple syrup we have left, I used some to make a sweet and spicy marinade for chicken, and served up this Spicy Maple Chicken with rice. It was quick and delicious and the sharp spice of the cayenne pepper was a good contrast to the sweetness of the maple syrup. If you made the marinade in the morning and put the chicken in before you went off to work, Spicy Maple Chicken would make a very quick and convenient d...

Slow Cooker Chicken and Butternut Squash Curry- a medium hot, Rogan Josh style chicken curry with butternut squash and red pepper, all made in the slow cooker. Low syn on Slimming World. Jump to Recipe Our shopping delivery had the most enormous butternut squash in it this week. I could have made an enormous batch of Curried Butternut Squash Soup but it really would have been an enormous batch! So, instead, I decided to use half of it to make soup and half to make a Slow Cooker Chicken and Butternut Squash Curry. Good timing as it's National Curry Week from 10-16th October. The curry I decided on was a Slow Cooker Rogan Josh style one with a tomato base. The butternut squash and the addition of red pepper add a lovely touch of sweetness to the flavour. I made the chicken curry at a medium-hot chilli heat, but you can adjust the heat to suit your own palate by using a milder or hotter curry paste and/or a milder or hotter chilli powder if you don't like too much spice. I didn...

As it's summer, you'd think I would be putting the slow cooker away. Nope, still using it for new recipes. This week it's Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Pasta Sauce, which is a bit more summery than a stew, I guess! Essentially, this was a twist on my Very Garlicky Slow Cooker Lemon and Rosemary Chicken (longest recipe name ever!). You can find the original recipe here: Very Garlicky Slow Cooker Lemon and Rosemary Chicken Recipe I highly recommend it. It's useful for so many things! I'm obsessed with it, using it in salads, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and so on. But back to this pasta sauce recipe. It's a simple slow cooked pasta sauce recipe with shredded chicken, garlic and rosemary in a pasta sauce. Spoon it over some pasta, sprinkle it with a bit a cheese and you've got a delicious lunch or dinner. If you're going for the Full Monty, serve with garlic bread and a side salad. It's great for making ahead in a big batch and freezing. If you are goin...

Do you go through phases of being totally uninspired by what to make for dinner? I do every now and again, and last week was one of those times. I was stood in front of the meat cabinet in the supermarket for ages just staring- beef, pork, bacon, chicken, turkey... I briefly turned round and looked at the fish, and then back to the meat. No ideas and I didn't fancy anything we usually make. In desperation I bought chicken breasts, thinking- there's always something you can do with chicken breasts! At home I then stood staring into the cupboard, hoping for inspiration, an unopened bottle of smoked paprika caught my eye. My Dad loves smoked paprika, but I haven't really ever used it. The idea of BBQ flavours seemed a good one, so I thought honey would work as the sweet to match the smoky flavour of the paprika. It's definitely one of my favourite chicken marinades, of those I have made recently. I really want to try it with slow cooked chicken as I just have a feeling tha...

Garlic and Lemon Linguine with Chargrilled Chicken- a very simple pasta dish of linguine and mushrooms in garlic and lemon oil, with added flavour from the chargrilled chicken. Dinner ready in 25 minutes. Jump to recipe When we were on holiday in Canada, we went to a restaurant called The Spaghetti Factory a couple of times. It specialises in different pasta dishes and serves them up with a free salad or soup and garlic bread. Delicious! One dish that we had there was a garlic linguine with chicken. I really enjoyed it- there was a real kick of garlic in the linguine. At the time, I said straight away that I was going to try and make something similar at home. This garlic and lemon linguine with chargrilled chicken is my attempt to do just that. It's different to what we ate in Canada, but has similar flavours. Lemon and garlic give the linguine and mushrooms a ton of sharp flavour to contrast against the caramelisation on the chicken. It's very garlicky, so you might want to ...

Cajun Chicken and Bacon Traybake- a quick and easy recipe with roasted potato, red pepper and onion, perfect for quick weeknight dinners. Syn-free on Slimming World and under 500 calories. Jump to recipe The trouble with being on diet plans is that you need to be organised. No getting in from work and thinking what shall I have for dinner, I can't be bothered to cook, let's get take-away! It all needs to be thought of in advance. So, it was a bit awkward last week when we were just getting started and I found myself without any planned dinner. It needed to be quick and fit in with Slimming World for my husband's diet. And so the Cajun Chicken and Bacon tray bake was born! I love a tray bake dinner. It's so easy- chop it all up, throw it on a baking tray and hey presto! You need 2 baking trays for this recipe as the key to getting it cooked quickly is space between the different food on the tray. One baking tray is for the potatoes so they'll get nice a crispy when...

Very Garlicky Slow Cooker Lemon and Rosemary Chicken- a slow cooker recipe for chicken breasts that is then shredded ready to use in chicken sandwiches, pasta dishes and more. An incredibly easy and versatile slow cooker dish.

Once it's been shredded it can be served hot: with gravy and mash, mixed with cream cheese or a tomato sauce and pasta, or mixed with mayo and served in a jacket potato. Leave it til the next day and have it mixed with mayo in a sandwich, on a salad or with some couscous. See, it's super-versatile! I do need to warn you though, it's seriously garlicky, so go ahead and tone down the garlic if you're not such a fan. If you ...

Every Sunday, my husband and I look through the following week's plans to see how many nights we need a quick dinner due to late meetings and things like that. We usually have a few slow cooker meals ready in the freezer, but it's handy to have a bank of quick-to-make dinners too. A favourite quick dinner of ours is Spicy Chicken Pasta. It only has a few ingredients and is great for using up left over chicken. If I get in late, it's great to be able to walk into the kitchen and knock something tasty like this up, in about 20 minutes. It's essentially a tomato, garlic and onion-based pasta sauce, with a good hit of chilli and some red pepper thrown in too. It has a lot of flavour and can be thrown together very quickly. It's a great way to use up left over roast chicken too, if you have any. If you're doing Slimming World, switch the oil for a low cal oil spray and switch the harissa paste for powder to keep it "syn" free.
