Here’s a fantastic recipe that my mum used to make. It’s cheap, quick and delicious and is now a family favourite in my home. This recipe also freezes really well, so you can make it in advance or freeze the leftovers. Ingredients:
Chicken legs and/or thighs
Large tin of tomato soup
Large carrot, sliced
10 mushrooms, chopped in chunks
Large brown onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp dried mixed herbs.
Method: All you have to do is place the ingredients in a casserole dish, mix, and then place the lid on the dish. Cook in a moderate oven for approximately 45 minutes – 1 hour. I usually stir it after 30 minutes to mix it all through. Serve with rice and beans or peas. Mum used to coat the chicken pieces in flour and brown them before placing in the casserole dish. However, as a busy mum myself, I skip this step and it turns out just fine. It is such a hearty meal, you will all love it!
