Could I make this recipe in a slow cooker?
I love using my slow cooker. Especially on those days where I know I won’t be home and my kids will get home late and ask what we are eating for dinner. (Those are the best nights, ya know?)
I always keep ingredients for this recipe on hand. I have never personally made it in the slow cooker, but I am sure it would work great.
If you cook it with thawed chicken in the slow cooker, it will only be about 3-4 hours on low.
If you do frozen chicken, we recommend cooking it on low for about 5 hours.
You could also shred it, and out the chicken back in the slow cooker, to soak up all the extra juices, if it is seeming a little dry.
add more heat:
If you are looking to add more heat to this recipe, you could add a few chopped jalapeños, add red pepper flakes, or add more hot pepper sauce.
We like ours a little more on the mild side, with just a slight hint of heat, but I get some people like to crank the heat up, and dip this chicken in ranch.

I have never tried it in the crock pot, but I am sure you could cook it on high for about 4 hours or low for 6 and it would work. Let us know how it goes if you try it!
