Chicken hotpot

Chicken thighs are cheaper than breasts, and are brilliant in casseroles as they don't dry out

    Great simple recipe, and cheap too. I didn't bother with the creme fraiches and it was still yummy.

    Great recipe, clean plates all round. Added too much tarragon 2nd time round which overpowered the flavour and spoilt it a bit but with the correct amount this dish is delicious ;o)

    Made for dinner party with chicken breast, it was delicious, the chicken wasn't too dry, it went down a storm, everyone asked me for the recipe. Just made it again for a big family celebration and it went down very well again. Only thing I would change is I would halve the chicken stock next time so bit less sauce.

    This was good but I found it was a little bit salty because of the stock. I also added salt so definitely taste before seasoning. I also added celery, carrots, frozen peas and chirozo which went very well!

    I often make this recipe. I use smallish pieces of old potatoes when new potatoes are not available. I never use garlic as my husband hastes even the smell of garlic. I add parsley. I think the recipe will cook in my new slow cookpot when next I make the recipe.
