‘I jumped on the carbonara train but swapped the chicken out for chicken meatballs [it was] AMAZING’, one person wrote.

‘[I’m] finally jumping on the chicken carbonara bandwagon and OMG it’s absolutely delicious (just needs some pepper) the only complaint I have is that my slow cooker is too small’, another said.

‘We did this last night and it was very nice – next time I may use light milk as I found it quite rich. We got 4 serving plus 4 large takeaway containers full’, one explained.

Another said: ‘My SC isn’t big enough either so I didn’t put the pasta in. I cooked rice instead and served the chicken on that in bowls. It soaked up the sauce really well!’  

‘Great idea!’, another person agreed. ‘Yummy nice idea’, one person added.
