Notes

Tip
If I am putting this on early in the morning, I sear the chicken pieces in a frying pan the night before and pop them into the fridge. That way the next day I can just throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker and set and forget without making too much mess.
Tip
The chunky vegetable mix I used had beans, cauliflower and broccoli in it but you could use fresh vegetable or anything that is left over in your crisper.
Variation
Bacon is a nice addition in this recipe. Fry it with the last batch of chicken, so its flavours are released into the dish.
