Slow Cooked Chicken Stew
Slow cookers are so great for those times when you want a fuss-free dinner, you can literally throw everything in it and leave it all day so you have a lovely wholesome meal waiting for you at tea time.
We left this stew in the slow cooker for 8 hours on a low heat but if you want it ready bit sooner than that you can turn the heat up to medium and it should be ready in about 4 hours.
Hope you like it 🙂

Method:

Pre-cooked Quinoa or un-cooked. I presume un-cooked but would like to make sure
Hi Linda,
Thanks for your message and sorry for the late reply!! Yes that’s right, the measurement is for uncooked quinoa.
Hope you enjoy it, or enjoyed it! (if you couldn’t wait for our reply) 🙂
