Jen says
Any chance the chicken will burn or be dry when you cook it alone in the crock pot?
Heidi says
Hi Jen… no ~ the chicken won’t burn, as it will cook in its own juices that it releases. Hope that helps!
Jen says
Thanks!! Super excited to try this recipe.
Heidi says
You’re very welcome… ENJOY! We’re having it again for dinner tonight! 😉
