Getting up in the morning and planning dinner is a part of our normal family routine now. It is SO convenient to place a dish in the slow cooker and let it do its thing. Sometimes we don’t have time in the morning so I’ve been testing a range of quicker slow cooker dinners, that only take 2-3 hours. This slow cooker chicken and prawn paella is one such dish. It is ready in around 2.5 hours and tastes almost as good as a paella that has been slaved over for hours!
We love a nice home cooked dinner, particularly one made in the slow cooker. The flavours have more time to develop and the meat is always soft, tender and delicious. A slow cooker is a really convenient way to have family meals ready and waiting to be served. Most dishes cook in 3-4 hours on high and 6-8 hours on low. There are lots of delicious meals that can withstand longer cooker times, such as slow cooker beef chilli, and this means you can set it before you begin work for the day. I personally don’t leave my slow cooker unattended usually but I work from home so it’s all good! Here is my recipe for slow cooker hunters chicken. I’ve tested it a few times, in a few ways, and this is my favourite way of cooking it.
I have a few health problems, which means there are days when I’m at home in agony. I still want to make a dinner for my family, but don’t always have lots of effort to put in. Today I want to share with you one of my easiest recipes ever! You can use leftover wine, if you’re the type of person who has leftover wine, or stock, if you’re not. It’s really an absolute doddle and you can have this slow cooker chicken mushroom pie filling in your slow cooker in minutes.
When the colder nights draw in there is nothing I love more than coming home to a delicious slow cooker dinner. Being able to set my slow cooker in the morning, in just minutes, makes me feel productive and organised for the day ahead. Coming home, from work or play, to a hot dinner makes for a more relaxing day. It takes just 5-10 minutes to get this in your slow cooker pot – even less if you skip the browning steps. This easy slow cooker chicken casserole recipe can cook on low all day, or even overnight, or can be cooked on high in just a few hours, for those days when you don’t have time.

AD. I’m a real lover of the slow cooker. I love nothing more than getting dinner ready in the slow cooker pot, before bed, and knowing that in the morning I just pop it on and leave it for 4-8 hours to cook. It is great knowing that dinner is already prepared and this frees me up for work, chores or just spending more time with my family. We’ve had this slow cooker chicken saag curry a few times recently and now I’ve perfected our ideal recipe. Making a chicken saag slow cooker dinner is SUPER simple and you can have it all ready to go in just a few minutes!
