Day 29 - Chicken Casserole

For dinner on Thursday, we had Rikki's Sister and her partner around for dinner so I made this simple mouthwatering chicken casserole. Nothing beats a hearty casserole!

CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Serves: 4 People

Prep Time: 10-15 Minutes

Cooking Time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes

4 Large Chicken Breasts
2-3 Large Potatoes
1 Celery Stick
1 Leek
2 Large Parsnips
2 Large Carrots
800-900ml of Chicken Stock
Salt & Pepper

• Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
• Chop the chicken breasts into bite sized chunks and place in a lidded casserole dish. Peel and chop the potatoes, carrots and parsnips into chunks and add the the dish along with the chopped leek and celery. Add the chicken stock so that everything is covered, give it a good stir and pop the lid on the top.
• Place the casserole into the oven and cook for about an hour. After an hour check the casserole, give it a stir and season to taste. Whack the oven up to about 190 degrees and return the casserole for a further 20-30 minutes.
• If you need to thicken the casserole add a couple of teaspoons of chicken gravy granules. Then serve with some lovely crispy ciabatta bread.
