Can you recommend a good Slow Cooker?

At the moment I am loving the Morphy Richards Sear and Stew 3.5 Litre Oval Slow Cooker Titanium The colour is stunning and I am loving the fact you can use the pan of the slow cooker to sear your meat. Less mess and washing up!

If you don’t have or want a slow cooker that’s absolutely fine.. I have a lovely non slow cooker version of Chicken fajitas for you to try.

Sure, feel free to swap the chicken to beef, pork, lamb or take out the meat altogether and swap it for kidney beans to go vegetarian!

  • 1 tsp Dried Coriander
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tsp Hot Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Pinch Salt

  • 700g Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast [Do not dice or slice]

  • 1 Green Bell Pepper [Deseeded, Sliced]
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper [Deseeded, Sliced]

  • 2 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 1 Chicken Stock Cube [Mixed with 100ml Boiling Water]
  • 2 Garlic Cloves [Crushed]

Instructions

  • Mix together the fajita spiced mix and set to one side in a bowl. Why not make up a few batches to store in the cupboard for next time?
  • Add the garlic, peppers and onion into the slow cooker.
  • Add the fajita spice mix, stock and tomato puree. Mix everything together well.
  • Add the chicken breasts (whole) mix together gently ensuring the chicken is completely coated. Try to ensure most of the veggies are on top of the chicken.
  • Cover with the lid and cook for 3 hours on high or 4 hours on low. (Remove the lid for the last hour)
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the cooker, place onto a cutting board and slice into strips. Put these back into the slow cooker and mix everything together. [If you find there is still far too much liquid you can pop your slow cooker pan on the hob and boil off some of the liquid]
  • Serve and enjoy.
