      It’s a winner for sure! You could try the slow cooker Fiona, but I would definitely still sear some chicken until golden in the fry pan first. A few minutes each side, and season first with salt and pepper. Only stir through the cream at the end of cooking, as it can separate if cooked for too long. Let me know how you go!

    Love love it!
