Slow Cooker Potato Leek Chicken Recipes

SLOW COOKER LEEK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat a medium-sized pan over medium-high on the stove top
• Once hot, add the oil.
• Brown the chicken on both sides; remove from heat.
• Add the carrots to the slow cooker and half the leeks.
• Place the chicken over the vegetables in the slow cooker.
• Sprinkle over the salt, pepper and garlic.
• Add the remaining leeks and pour over the butter.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
• Serve the chicken and carrots along side mashed potatoes or rice and drizzle over the sauce that is in the slow cooker.

LEEK AND POTATO CHOWDER

Steps:

• Clean leeks by cutting off the roots and the tips of the leaves. Make a vertical cut from the root end to the tops, being careful to not cut through completely. The leeks will now open like the pages of a book, and any mud can be cleaned out between the leaves under the faucet. Slice the cleaned leeks into quarter-inch strips.
• Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute leeks in hot butter until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a slow cooker.
• Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over low heat. Gradually whisk flour into the melted butter until the mixture forms a clump of dough. Slowly stream chicken broth into the skillet, continually whisking until the broth is entirely incorporated; pour over the mixture in the slow cooker. Add bacon and potatoes to the slow cooker. Season mixture with salt and pepper; stir.
• Cook on Low until the potatoes are soft, stirring water into the mixture if it gets too thick, at least 2 hours. Stir half-and-half into the mixture and continue cooking for 1 hour more.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN WITH LEEK SOUP MIX

Steps:

• Evenly spread onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place chicken on top of onion, and sprinkle with dry leek soup mix. Mix the cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup in a bowl, and pour into the slow cooker.
• Cover, and cook 7 to 8 hours on Low.

SLOW COOKER POTATO-LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Place potatoes and leeks in slow cooker. Sprinkle flour over and toss until well-coated. Add the chicken stock and stir, then add the dill and the chopped bacon. Mix well. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the soup until creamy (you can puree the whole pot or just some of it if you prefer a chunkier soup). Add salt and pepper to taste (I find a teaspoon or two of salt really helps boost the flavor).
• Stir in half and half and cheese (if using), then cover and heat an additional 15 minutes.

SLOW COOKER POTATO LEEK CHICKEN

Steps:

• place potatoes in slow cooker. Arrange chicken pieces on top of potato slices. Place leeks on top of chicken pieces.
• In small bowl, whisk together leek soup mix, water, garlic, paprika and pepper until well-combined. Pour over top of everything in the crock pot.
• Cover and cook on Low 5 to 6 hours or until chicken is no longer pink.
• Add salt, if needed, to taste.

EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Chop the leek, carrot, onion and potatoes into small amounts. If using new potatoes I tend to cut these into 8 pieces.
• De-skin and de-bone the chicken thighs and chop these into small pieces as well
• At this point you can fridge the ingredients and put the slow cooker on in the morning, with the meal ready for when you get home or you can go ahead and cook now
• Add leek, carrot, onion and potatoes to the slow cooker
• Add the chicken to the slow cooker with the ingredients then pour over the chicken stock as slowly and as evenly as possible. Then mix in 4 tablespoons of vegetable gravy to thicken it up. We like the sauce nice and thick but reduce the amount of granules if you prefer a runnier casserole.
• Switch the slow cooker to low and leave to cook for a minimum of 4 hours, however I tend to cook for 8 as I put this on before I go to work; ready to eat when I get home.
