Notes

  • For a Mediterranean twist, add feta cheese and olives.
  • If you prefer crispy chicken, broil it for 5 minutes after slow cooking.
  • Substitute sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter and healthier version.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
