Notes
I made this recipe by peeking at a jar’s label and tweaking with what tastes good to me. The spices smell strong at first, but they calm down after cooking—don’t fret! After cream goes in, it might need extra mustard. Taste as you go.
Browning chicken before cooking stops it from looking weird and split, especially with cream.
I used an Aldi 3L slow cooker.
