Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Casserole – No chopping, no frying, bung all the ingredients in the slow cooker and leave it to do it’s thing. This is literally the easiest casserole recipe you’ll ever make!
It’s definitely slow cooker season again! I’ve dug mine out from the back of the cupboard and to be honest it’ll probably now live on my counter for the next few months. If you’ve not yet tried using a slow cooker then here’s why I love them so much.
Benefits of Slow Cookers:
1. They’re cheap to buy and to run. As with anything you can buy cheap and more expensive brands. Mine was £15 from a supermarket and has lasted me years now. Great value!
2. Slow Cookers are brilliant for busy families. You can throw all the ingredients into it in the morning, head out to work and school and come home to a delicious meal. So easy and no fuss!
3. Slow Cookers are a great way of cooking cheaper cuts of meat, especially budget cuts of beef and lamb; meaning you can eat the tastiest dishes for a lot less money.
4. Slow Cooking can be a really healthy way of cooking your favourite meals. Because you are not frying the ingredients you don’t need to add any oil or butter if you don’t want to.
Some slow cooker recipes require you to pre-fry the meat but I like to make my recipes as quick and easy as possible, especially if you are preparing it in the morning. So this is a no-fry and even a no-chop recipe!
I use cheat’s ingredients such a frozen onions and baby carrots which means no peeling or chopping at all. So easy!
It’ll take just 3 minutes to quickly wash the vegetables and chuck all the ingredients into the slow cooker. I prefer to add the mushrooms later, as they tend to cook quicker than the other veggies but it’s fine to add them at the beginning if you want to.
You can choose to cook the casserole on high or low. Once it’s ready cook up some steamed veggies like broccoli or kale for a delicious and comforting family meal!

I literally love how easy this was to make and my whole family loved it which is a bonus. I always find it hard to find recipes that dont involve hours of prep. The fact you could throw everything straight into the slow cooker was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended and will definitely be making again!
