More helpful tips for you.

1. While my chicken dinner was made with potatoes and carrots, you can use other ingredients such as corn or beans (slow cooking times can vary).
2. Marinating your chicken for as little as 10 minutes or overnight (refrigerated) both tenderizes the chicken and adds flavor to it. You can place it into a zip top bag with the olive oil and seasonings to do so.
3. Take the heat up a notch to make this even more authentic. You can add pepper flakes or hot sauce to spice up the sauce.
4. A large crockpot was used to make my chicken. Depending on size of your slow cooker, you may need to adjust the ingredients to fit.
5. There are a lot of different seasonings used to give this dish a variety of flavors. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your likings.
6. Remember, according to the USDA, chicken is done cooking when it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 throughout. It should no longer be pink and the juices should run clear as well.
