Uncreamy Chicken

I made this yesterday evening and left it in the slow cooker for Pete to do the donkey work today: he successfully switched it on at lunchtime.

I was expecting it to have a creamy sauce, since it consisted of chicken, leeks and mushrooms, with half a tin of tomatoes, half a tin of Cambells condensed mushroom soup, and half a tub of mascarpone cheese. Yes, I was emptying the fridge. There were a few herbs in there as well, and maybe some cabbage; I can't quite remember.

It smelt delicious when I came in this evening, but on closer inspection the sauce had separated and was very watery. Still, I cooked up some pasta and we consumed vast quantities of the stuff, finishing it up with a spoon. I don't do chicken in the slow cooker very often, but I should, because it makes it absolutely melty and yum.

We had a chicken/dairy concoction tonight too, which was supposed to be creamy but separated. I thought it was due to using creme fraiche because the cream had gone off, but perhaps there is something about On St David's Day Beware/Do Not Mixeth Chicken and Dair
