FAQ
Can I use bone-in chicken breasts?
For a lot of these recipes, you will be able to use bone-in chicken breasts. Keep in mind that you may need to increase the cooking time.
Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°.
Can I use frozen chicken breasts in a slow cooker?
I recommend using fresh or frozen & defrosted chicken breasts.
The USDA states that it is not safe to cook frozen meat due to the fact that it can take too long to reach a safe internal temperature.
