- I find it so much easier to chop up my chicken while its partially frozen. It cuts a lot quicker and is less finicky. No need to wait for the chicken to defrost it will defrost and cook in the slow cooker.
- Make your own bone broth! Bone broth can add so much flavour to this dish and the taste is very different from your store-bought broths. If you want an easy, flavourful bone broth recipe I have one right here for you! Homemade Bone Broth Recipe And Health Benefits
