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!

Any ‘hard’ cheese that grates easily, preferably one with a strong flavour.
Here in the UK I use Cheddar.

I tried this last night. Yum. I only used half of the butter and it was delicious. I used shredded parmesan cheese as that is what I had on hand. I'll be keeping this one!

Thanks! Looks delicious!

So glad you enjoyed it!

Sound wonderful. Thanks for sharing. A good way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken and a quick quick meal when you need something fast. Lots of possibilities with this one.
