Wallet and waist friendly chicken casserole

For any of you with a slow cooker I need not highlight to you the benefits of this wonderful contraption. My parents gave me one for Christmas last year and I have been experimenting with it since. 
Protein packed yumminess
Having to work long hours and then an hours journey home the last thing I want to do is prepare a meal from scratch. Nowadays I come home to a kitchen filled with heart warming aromas and I must say my wallet and waistline are benefiting too, which can't be a bad thing a couple of days before payday.
This protein packed meal was super easy to prepare and (minus the wine) hardly cost anything. 
What I popped into my slow cooker:
2 chicken thighs (skin removed)
1/2 thinly sliced potato 
1 thinly sliced carrot
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 can adzuki beans
1 knoor chicken stock gel cube
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of red wine
A little ground pepper
This made 2 generous portions. If you didn't want the gravy to be so thin you could add a little cornflower.
