A chicken casserole should appear shortly. There was an preliminary issue with defrosting the bits of chicken, as I had a dormant security presence in the kitchen through the morning and I wanted to do things in the shed. An unsupervised (by me) chicken seemed a potentially bad idea. So, I let it start in the fridge for a few hours and then had it simmer for a good while at the start, to heat it through. It's worked OK before in similar circumstances.
