THMD3: Creamy Italian Chicken Hot Pot

Sharing is caring!

Skinnymixer’s Creamy Italian Chicken Hot Pot features in the FAST section of the cookbook The Healthy Mix Dinners 3. 

The Creamy Italian Chicken Hot Pot is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

This hearty casserole is packed full of luscious, soft vegetables and a rich creamy sauce that I struggle to portion control. 

This recipe features in our Fast section of the Dinners 3 cookbook –  making it a go-to recipe for those nights you need dinner on the table fast.

If you have some Italian Spice Mix made up or some Tuscan Spice Mix from the Dinners cookbook – these are perfect to use in this recipe. Don’t worry if you don’t have either of these, we also provide a tip on what dried herbs to add.

I love to serve this with the Garlic Butter Rice or the Silky Sweet Potato Mash.

You can choose to omit the cornflour for a warming, nutritious soup or double the cornflour for a versatile pie filling. 

Dinners 3 is here to help take a little stress out of the daily ‘What’s for Dinner?’ with 27 NEW Dinner recipes, 7 sides and 4 sweets for after dinner. Whether you are feeding your family on a tight budget, needing to get dinner on the table fast or perhaps trying to be healthier and cutting back on takeaway. Dinners 3 is here to bring some mojo back into your kitchen!

Freezer Prep Meal Plan Info – How to Make as a Dump Bag

This recipe features in the Freezer Prep Meal Plan located in the presale bonus located in the ‘Meal Plan Collection’ download and has a matching print-at-home label. 

To make as a ‘dump bag’ we follow the Slow Cooker variation for the recipe and do the following.

1. Follow the Slow Cooker variation – Omit the water, use chicken thigh and double the recipe. 
2. To make the sauce – leave the water and chicken out, but double everything else. Cook the recipe and stop after Step 4. 
3. Chill the sauce – you need to chill the sauce before adding into the dump bag with the raw meat. 
4. Attach label to a large snaplock bag or desired container. The labels are print-at-home and are 6 labels to an A4 page.
5. Combine sauce and raw meat in a large snaplock bag or desired container. Try to remove as much air as possible to avoid freezer burn & Freeze your ‘dump bag’.
6. DEFROST TO USE: It is best to defrost the day before in the fridge as you don’t want to add frozen food to the slow cooker.  
7. “Dump” the contents of the freezer bag into the slow cooker and cook for 4-6 hr on low. 
8. With 30 min to go, add cornflour mixture. Stir through baby spinach and cheese before serving.

Please note – this is for use with a slow cooker and not the TM6 slow cooker function. To use the slow cooker function in the Thermomix, you need the recipe to be specifically created with a maximum 800g of meat and a minimum amount of liquid.

We double the recipe for recipes that will potentially dry out in a large slow cooker, if you don’t want to double the recipe and have a smaller slow cooker then you are welcome to use your best judgement and not double.
