FAQs

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Yes, you can use fresh vegetables like chopped carrots, peas, or green beans. Just be sure to cut them into small pieces so they cook thoroughly during the 6-hour slow cooking time.

What if I don’t have a crock pot?

You can prepare this dish in a covered baking dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 to 1.5 hours until the chicken is cooked through and stuffing is tender, checking occasionally to avoid drying out.
