Chicken Crumble
 

I would like to share this recipe with you as it is so easy. I like to prepare it in the morning so it’s ready to cook for our evening meal. This recipe will serve 2 - 3 people.

Chicken Crumble

For the crumble -
2oz flour (any)
2oz fresh breadcrumbs
2oz butter
2oz grated cheese

For the chicken-
2 cooked chicken breasts or similar amount of cooked chicken meat
1 tin condensed soup (celery, chicken or mushroom)


1 Rub the butter into the flour and breadcrumbs then add the cheese.

2 Chop the chicken into bite size pieces, put in a bowl and stir in condensed soup. (Do not add any extra liquid)

3 Put the chicken mix in a deep pie dish or similar then put the Crumble on top.

4 Bake in a moderate oven 185c, 360f, gas mark 5-6 (UK) for about 30 mins.

I like to serve with green vegetables and roast potatoes.


Options -

Cooked turkey could be used instead of chicken or a combination of chicken/turkey and cooked ham.

I like to add half a finely chopped leek to the chicken mixture.

Some tinned sweet corn is nice too.

A little chopped fresh herbs adds interest to the Crumble.


I like to cook mine in a Pyrex (glass) dish so that I can see the soup bubbling. It is important that the chicken is heated through thoroughly.

Just got out everything I need to make for dinner tonight. Will be nice on this snowy day.

I hope you enjoy it - please let me know!

Dinners don’t get much easier than this!

Going to have to try this maybe serve over noodles or rice

I have cooked this often - only difference is that I have used a smashed up packet of ready salted crisps, chips I guess for across the pond (large pack) instead of the crumble mix. It was delicious (when I used to eat meat), and quick to prepare on a school evening following work.

what kind of cheese? this sounds good. I will go shopping soon. thanks.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I can see all sorts of possibilities.

Sounds so good! Would be nice with leftover turkey that many of us will have soon.
Thanks!
