Cooking Tips
- The chicken and veggies will release liquid as they cook. Use a ladle to remove and discard some if it's too much.
- I usually check this with a meat thermometer in the thickest part right at 2 1/2 hours. Different slow cookers can cook at different rates.
- You can slice the chicken or use two forks for shredded chicken.
