Crock Pot Chicken Lizzy
"This is a rich, sweet and tangy chicken dish. I invented this recipe for my daughter, who has Crohn's Disease. It is designed to be nutritionally dense, so it is deliberately high in fat. You could leave out the cream, but the ground almonds would still add fat. We serve it with couscous or plain rice - it is rich so you only need small helpings and can add vegetable side dishes of your choice. It's also delicious cold - as a salad or in sandwiches, rather like Coronation Chicken. It freezes beautifully."

I joined Zaar because I'm so bored with cooking! I live on the beautiful south coast of England, and I'm the mother of an adult son and daughter. Now I'm enjoying the freedom to develop my own interests in things like antique hunting, pottery, knitting and digital photography. After so many years of cooking for a family, I need to try new things. I've bought a slow cooker and I'm exploring farmers markets for locally produced organic foods. The family was vegetarian for years, but my daughter has recently been diagnosed with Crohn's disease and her diet has become so restricted we are reintroducing meat in order to maximise her nutritional intake. So I'm having to relearn meat cooking and I'm looking to Zaar for good recipes!
