Recipe Notes

Using a whole chicken is an economical way to prepare a meal (or a few meals!). Don’t forget to thaw your chicken first to keep it at a safe temperature. Slow cookers make preparing meals relaxed and easy. After it’s cooked you can enjoy it on it’s own or in several meals throughout the week. Check out the produce index for additional information!
