Crock pots are amazing little wonders. Will my intrigue soon fade? I delight in checking it every 30 minutes, with new astonishment of how little work I am doing. David had work off today, so I wanted to give him a chance to fascinate and marvel the way I do. We’re just immature child-like in that way. Did I mention this is eons better than anything at Olive Garden? Yuck. I dislike you forever, OG. But, you probably already know that from meeting me.

Hi Rachel, i wanted to know if i use frozen chicken breast and i cook it on low would i need to add more hours to the cooking time
Can you use frozen chicken breast?
Yes.
Any recommendations for what type of italian dressing you use?
I find the ones where the ingredients don’t “settle” work best.
Hi Rachel,
How would cooking it on HIGH work? I started this today around 2pm, lost track of time, and started it on LOW. If I switch it to HIGH now, would that be okay? If so, how would I adjust the time?
Thanks!
Yes, you can cook on High for 3-4 hours. Thanks!
Rachel, can this chicken be adapted to be dairy free? Any suggestions, or should I not bother trying? Thanks for your great recipes!
If you skip the parm, I think it will still be pretty yummy.
Need to start my slowcooker this afternoon. This chicken looks amazing!
Yay! Hope it turns out great.

Sounds yummy. I have a question, though, what do you mean when you write “pour remaining dressing to basin”
Sylvia
In the beginning your pour a small amount into the base of the slow cooker, and on that step you pour the rest in. Thanks for the question, it should say “into” instead of in.
