- Use frozen green beans instead of fresh ones! You can add them at the beginning of cooking instead, as they will take longer to cook.

Slow Cooker Tips
Tip #1 You can use bone-in chicken thighs if you need to stretch your cooking time. Bone-in chicken thighs or breasts take longer to cook, so they stay tender for longer.
Tip #2 Use frozen vegetables instead of fresh ones so they hold up while cooking for a longer period of time.
Tip #3 Check the internal temperature of your chicken when getting closer to being done. A safe internal temperature is 165 degrees F.

I made this recipe exactly as written, using the Lipton onion soup mix instead of the gravy packet and making my own "copycat" cream of chicken soup. This was absolutely delicious. The cooking times were spot on and everything was cooked to perfection and the sauce was soooo good. Thank you, this recipe is now officially part of my crockpot rotation recipes 🙂
