Yum! I pinned it this morning. One of my favorite ideas but I’ve never successfully made it. Maybe tomorrow is the day!
This looks super yummy! I’m assuming that the chicken is cooked beforehand. Is that correct? Then added to slow cook?
Thanks!
If I cook this on LOW for 8 hours, I do not cook the chicken beforehand. It cooks all day long. If I am doing this quick and only letting it sit for a few hours in the slow cooker, I will go ahead and boil the chicken for about 15 minutes and then place into the slow cooker. Hope that helps!
No seasonings?
There are NO seasonings. It’s delicious just like it is! I think the green chilis in the Rotel are what helps the flavor marinate when is cooking during the day.
