Notes
Chicken Thighs: If you're not a fan of dark meat, you can also use chicken breasts just be aware the flavor will be different.
Avoid Frozen Chicken: It can take too long to come up to a safe temperature per the FDA.
Crescent Dough Sheets: Look for them near the refrigerated biscuits. Crescent roll dough will do in a pinch just press the seams together before cutting.
Crockpot Liner: For easy cleanup, use a crockpot liner. Look for them near the tin foil and plastic wrap at your grocery store. If you don't have one hand, spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
