Join the discussionI’m planning to use leftover cooked chicken from the night before in this recipe and add it in just before serving. Should I cook the rest of the ingredients in the crockpot for a shorter amount of time?
Good idea! You could shorten the cooking time if desired. It just needs to be cooked until all of your veggies are soft and all of the flavors are melded together.
I tried this recipe and was very excited about it. It turned out terrible though 🙁 we threw it all away.
Wondering what happened to yours. Mine seemed to separate so fat from chicken looked like curdled milk. Maybe the lime juice? It may taste ok, but no one wants to eat it. Doesn’t look like pictures at all.
Is using cooked chicken a good idea before freezing?
Absolutely! I will often make a large stew or soup (with cooked chicken) and then freeze the whole meal to consume again at a later time. I wouldn’t let it sit in the fridge before freezing though as that gives more time for bacteria to form.
Why does the chicken need to be cooked first?
We made this decision based on feedback. If you have more questions, please feel free to pop into chat in the bottom right-hand corner! Thank you!
In the recipe it says tomato juice. Is that just juice not passata or sauce.
Hi Christine,
Yes, tomato juice can be purchased in the juice aisle. It is thinner than pasta sauce or tomato sauce.
