Gluten Free Slow Cooker Chicken & Butternut Squash Stew
Our guest blogger and Katrina Lander @fitnessfodmap_ guest edits this blog post for Cole & Mason UK.
Who doesn’t love a hearty warming dish on a cold winter's night? The slow cooker becomes my best friend when the cold days hit. The fact they can be left on throughout the day means when you get home, you have a delicious meal waiting - this must be one of the best things about using the slow cooker!
This dish is full of flavour and super versatile, you can easily play around with the veggies and chuck in any that are soon going out of date, which makes it one of my favourite dishes to make.
