Chicken & Chorizo Casserole – Slow Cooker or Oven
Sometimes the best meals are the cheapest to make, especially when it comes to using cheaper cuts of meat like chicken drumsticks and thighs. Any meat cooked on the bone will always have a far better flavour due to the flavour the bones give to the dish when cooking.
This is a great one for a midweek meal when you are looking for something easy and inexpensive to make yet want something tasty.
There is a small amount of work to do before you pop it into your slow cooker or oven but once that is done the dish will cook away while you do all the things busy mums and dads have to do.
I really enjoyed this dish when I made it. I ate it with Aines family who also really enjoyed it.
The dish may end up a little greasy, this is easily fixed by skimming the grease off the top when cooked. Simple use a ladle to skim it off the top without stirring it into the sauce then discard it. This is exactly how we do it in professional kitchens.

Do this alot but you left out the mushrooms i have to have them in everything
Made this last week and it was a hit and will be making again.
Very popular in this house definitely doing this one again soon
Very tasty we all loved it & I will be cooking again
This might b a stupid question but can you prep this the night before and put in fridge? Also how long would it be ok to keep this on keep warm function?
Yes you can prep it the night before. Just make sure you don’t store it in the pot for your slow cooker as it will crack if heated when cold. You can keep it on warm for an hour or two but I can’t say for sure as some slow cookers don’t keep food at a safe temperature. Personally, I wouldn’t risk it and my cooker is top of the range. Chicken is one of those things it is best not to take any chances on.
Hi There
I made this before and while the flavour was beautiful it didnt come out saucy – all the liquid dried up. I followed the instructions and left it in for 2.5 hours at 180C but I reckon my over was too hot, Am I better off reducing the temp or the cooking time. Many thanks….
Just add more water if you think it’s getting too dry Stephanie
Made this today in slow cooker!! Successful meal, 5&7 yr old tucked in! Cheers Liam
