I've put all the following ingredients in the slow cooker just randomly based on ingredients we had in.

Is this close to an already existing dish and if so, what is it called or what would you call it?

Chicken thigh
Tinned chopped tomatoes
Carrots, broccoli, string beans, green beans and leaks
Mushrooms
Garlic
Basil and thyme
Salt, pepper, mild curry powder, paprika, cumin

Name that dish?!

Is it chicken stew?
Chicken and veg curry?
Tomato, chicken and veg bake?

Chicken yuck. 🤪

HannahSternDefoe · 22/07/2022 14:12

Friday Chicken.

If you'd stopped at basil and thyme you could call it Italian chicken. With the rest, dunno, maybe chicken du monde?

MaMisled · 22/07/2022 14:26

We call it Chicken Chuck it in!

I'm thinking the rest of the family will be hoping the same and I imagine I'll be having it for lunch in small frozen portions over the coming weeks!

I think it will be tasty but I’ve no idea what to call it.

if anyone at home complains about it just say eat it and taste the love for all of of you that I’ve stirred into it.

That will shut them up.

Coq au random

Chucky tin.

Just checked on it and this is how it's looking.

It's gone quite runny, not sure how to thicken in up.

Some of the veg is still a bit hard. It's been in nearly 4 hours so maybe give it another hour and turn it off.

It's called Wait & See Pie around here. Same name applies to any meal I've cobbled together with random ingredients. And it's never actually a pie.

No offence, but it sounds like what Americans would call a hot mess. Leeks with curry powder?!

Ha ha leeks, broccoli and curry powder.

Farty mess?

Chicken Portuguese of course 🐔
Used to have this twice a month in the canteen when I worked for the NHS - delicious 😋

The food court in the Oberhausen shopping centre serves a tomato-based pasta dish with various vegetables, herbs, and curry powder in the sauce, and topped with cheese. It's quite random but so nice we've made it at home and call it Oberhausen Pasta.
So we would call that Oberhausen Chicken.

RewildingAmbridge · 22/07/2022 15:35

That is NOT a bhuna!!
Curry powder, leeks, soggy slow cooked broccoli , basil and thyme 🤢

HangOnToYourself · 22/07/2022 15:37

Sorry OP it doesnt sound very appetizing 😂 but I wish.you luck. Perhaps worth try to remove some of the liquid now and adding some cornflour if you have some to thicken it? Name wise.id maybe say it's a curried casserole?

OhRiRi · 22/07/2022 15:42

Chicken iffits.

If its in the cupboard, it's gone in (very much my mother in laws style of cooking)

MenaiMna · 22/07/2022 15:49

Melange du stuff

Marcipex · 22/07/2022 15:55

We call anything like that Fridge something eg Fridge soup, Fridge surprise.

So Poussin mélange a la Frigidaire.

maddiemookins16mum · 22/07/2022 16:06

Chicken a la Friday

maddiemookins16mum · 22/07/2022 16:07

Although I’d never put some of that veg in a slow cooker.

BorisThirdChin · 22/07/2022 16:10

It’s a bit like Chicken Marengo

apparently created for Napoleon on the battlefield from whatever ingredients the chef had to hand!
