Can I double this recipe for a crowd?

Yes, but make sure your slow cooker is big enough. I once tried it in a smaller one and let’s just say dinner was… delayed!

Is it okay to use chicken breast instead of thighs?

Absolutely! Just be mindful to not overcook them. Chicken breast can dry out easily compared to thighs.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

Yes, indeed. Just ensure everything is cooled down before placing it in the freezer in an airtight container. Then, thaw it in the fridge before reheating it.

What sides go best with this dish?

Rice or mashed potatoes are classic. You could also serve it with stir-fried greens or a fresh salad for that crunch!

Is this meal suitable for meal prep?

Definitely! This dish keeps well and reheat perfectly, making it an ideal choice for those meal prep Sundays when you’re looking to save time during a busy week.
