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.
