- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 250g carrots – peeled and sliced (about 2 medium carrots or 4 small ones)

How to make slow cooker peri peri chicken casserole
We love this spicy peri peri chicken casserole it’s just so easy to make!
I use a Crockpot sauté style slow cooker with removable pan so I start the chicken casserole off in that on the hob then transfer to the slow cooker once it’s boiling.
- Peel the carrots and slice.
- Pee the red onion and dice.
- Pour the olive oil into the slow cooker pan and gently wipe it around to grease the sides where you’ll be cooking.
- Tip in the chopped red onion.
- Tip the diced chicken breast into the slow cooker pan with the chopped onions
- Gently brown the chicken over a low heat on the hob.
- Tip the peeled sliced carrots into the slow cooker pan with the chicken and diced onions.
- Tip in the tin of chopped tomatoes – I use the Polpa tomatoes – they’re more finely chopped and the tomato juice is thicker so it gives a cooks into a nicer sauce. If you can’t find them, ordinary chopped tomatoes are fine.
- Tip in the peri peri seasoning.
- Mix all the peri peri chicken stew ingredients together gently.
- Bring the stew to the boil on the hob and then transfer to the slow cooker and cook on low for around 6-8 hours until the chicken is cooked through properly.
