Easy Crockpot Chicken

No need to buy packet sauces to make chicken casserole.

I had not used this recipe in a while, forgot how easy it was.  I had most of the ingredients in the pantry, except tomato paste so just used my homemade tomato sauce and no one but me likes mushrooms so left that step out. I served it with crispy roast potatoes and a large spinach salad.

Ingredients

6 large chicken pieces    

4 Tbsp flour                 

1 tsp paprika               

1 tsp salt

1 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp tomato paste or tomato sauce

½ cup hot water  

100 g mushrooms, sliced - optional

400 g courgettes sliced 1 cm thick

1 Tbsp fresh marjoram, chopped
