I wanted to make this on Wednesday, but ran out of time. So, I cut the chicken into smaller pieces and browned them, then added all the ingredients into a large pan with a lid and cooked it all together (I did use a tin of creamed mushroom soup insteat of the celery soup). I had to keep stirring it so it didn’t stick to the pan, but it was so delicious. I would recommend this recipe. Mmmm.

I too made it in a frying pan ,it turned out just as awesome, i made it the same way as Helen browning the chicken pieces first then i mixed all the ingredients in a jug and poured it over the top.Keep stirring though.It was ready in half the time and tastes great!

HI, just wondering do you cut the chicken up at any stage when you cook it in the slow cooker? Thanks

  I leave it as whole thigh fillets – but it’s really up to you. I did cut it up for the picture so it looked a bit nicer lol.

Hi Shontel, you can brown the chicken first if you wish, but I find that can sometimes dry the chicken out. The 4 to 6 hours cooks the chicken perfectly so there’s no worries with throwing them into the slowcooker raw!

I haven’t seen condensed celery soup anywhere in the supermarkets (I’m in NZ). Would other soups work ok? Mushroom? Chicken?

  Hi Alycia – you can try but sometimes when defrosting it can go a bit watery – see how you go!

The photo of this dish looks like it has corn kernels in it, but I can’t see any in the recipe. Does it include corn?

  You can include any extra veggies you like – corn is something I just like to throw in but you can use peas, beans or anything else you prefer!

I found some cream of asparagus soup but not celery. Would that or cream of chicken soup be better?

  Mix 1.5 cups of milk, 2 teaspoons of garlic salt and 1 tablespoon of cornflour together and use instead of soup!
