Notes

Can you use frozen chicken?

See notes in the post. Cooking chicken from frozen in the slow cooker can cause the chicken to be at an unsafe temperature for an extended period of time, so this will be up to you.
You can defrost the chicken overnight in the fridge or use the Instant Pot to cook from frozen to be safe.

Store leftovers in the fridge in a well sealed container for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
