I have been loving using our slow cooker recently. Any excuse to throw some food in there and leave it on all day ready to dish up when we're ready. It's extremely convenient and absolutely delicious, no matter what it is you're cooking up in there. Excuse the header photo by the way - I actually forgot to take a picture of the finished product which, obviously, had rice in it!
Ours is a multi-cooker, so we can sautee, roast, fry, bake and slow cook food in here. It really is a fantastic little appliance. We got ours from John Lewis and it's a Crock Pot model with a digital display. I'll leave a photo of it below for you, including a link to where you can buy your own, if you're interested :)
Shop the Multi-Cooker
Chicken jambalaya is one of my favourite dishes. It's tasty, warming and incredibly filling so I thought I'd share the recipe with you all so you can give it a go yourself in your own slow cooker. You don't actually need an all-singing, all-dancing multi-cooker for this one!
