Notes
- Begin checking chicken doneness at 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high, as slow cooker temperatures vary.
- Nutrition estimates do not include rice, which should be cooked separately as a serving base.
- Keep the slow cooker on warm or low to hold the chicken and sauce at serving temperature after cooking.
