FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken breasts for this recipe?

It’s best to use thawed chicken breasts to ensure even cooking in the slow cooker. Using frozen chicken may increase cooking time and affect texture.

Can I prepare this dish without a slow cooker?

While the slow cooker is ideal, you can bake the dish in a covered casserole dish at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 to 1.5 hours until the chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender. Check periodically to prevent drying out.
