Roast dinners are all about timings. Everything must be timed in ordered to be served together. It can be quite a challenge for people who have never really cooked a roast. I enjoy cooking roast dinners but occasionally I like to make it easy.
For me the slow cooker is the prefect solution. It can take the main bulk of work out of the equation. Also cooking chicken breasts instead of a whole bird makes it so much easier too. Plus you can still have a tasty meal on the table in time for dinner. We loved this dish and we hope you will too.

Slow Cooker Roast Chicken Wrapped in Parma Ham with Garlic Ghee was a delicious dinner. It was easy to prepare and cook. The chicken could be prepared the day before and stored in the fridge overnight. It was so tasty with roast potatoes and cabbage. The leftovers were good in a pasta salad the next day too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
