Tips and Warnings

  • The slower and lower you cook your chicken, the more tender it will be.
  • Nutrition does not include the rice.
  • The method of this recipe was updated on March 16, 2021. The chicken used to be cooked by itself in the slow cooker, but we have updated it to cook in the sauce so that it’s much more tender and flavorful. New photos were also added.
