There is nothing more comforting and rewarding that eating a stew or casserole which has cooked for hours. The taste becomes well developed and the chicken is moist, and moreish. This White Wine Chicken Casserole is perfect for a cold night and can be frozen for when you don’t feel like cooking.

If Dave is going to cook something for dinner then this is his go to recipe. There are always variations of the recipe. But the base stays the same. Chicken, mushrooms and tinned tomatoes. Sometimes we make use of red wine. And other times we add frozen peas just before the end. I like to add corn when I make this meal. Anything that adds colour and crunch is also good. You can also amp up the spices by adding some freshly chopped chilli, or use ginger instead. We used to serve this on mashed potatoes. And more recently I have taken to making quinoa as the side. Or even some mashed beans for something different. No matter how you adapt this dish, or what you serve with it, you will not be dissapointed. It really is comfort on a plate.

I totally agree with you – slow cooked, one pot chicken is the best.
