FAQs

Q: Can I use bone-in or boneless chicken?
A: Yes. Bone-in adds more flavor but needs a little more time to cook. Boneless cooks faster.

Q: Can I make this in a slow cooker?
A: Yes. Brown the chicken first, then add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Q: How do I know the chicken is fully cooked?
A: The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). The juices should run clear.

Q: Can I freeze leftovers?
A: You can freeze it, but potatoes may change texture. Freeze in a good container for up to 2 months. Reheat slowly.
