Join the discussionAre you browning your chicken before you put it int he crock-pot or is it raw? Thanks.
No we are not.
At what point do you add the water chestnuts, in the slow cooker, or with the onions afterwards?
Yes at the end just before serving.
Where do you buy coconut aminos?
I typically find it in the asian section of my grocer or the gluten free section.
I see this line in all the recipes, “Divide into indicated number of freezer bags” but can never seem to find how many bags are “indicated”. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help!
April – this line is meant more for when you are doing a big cooking day, and may be making more than one batch of this recipe. Hope that helps.
April, look on the lefthand side of the recipe and you’ll see a section titled “Freezer Containers.” Each recipe has that section.
So, typically, can I assume that each recipe will fit into one gallon-sized bag? I’m on my 4th recipe of 6 for the weekend. Excited to be “stocking up”!
April – it depends on the recipe – some call for smaller. I typically go through gallon and quart the most, and then I like to have pint sized ones on hand as well! Stocking up is exciting!
Can this recipe be frozen raw or does it have to be cooked first and then frozen?
If you are freezing raw, I would suggest to freeze the water chestnuts and green onions separately. Then on cooking day, thaw and follow slow cooker instructions.
Hi do u have to use the coconut amino to get the flavor your trying to achieve? No whole foods in my area with out traveling a bit. So some whole foods are not avalable at Walmart. Thanks
Michelle, coconut aminos are needed to give the lettuce wraps that asian/soy sauce like flavor. Melissa Joulwan has a recipe here http://theclothesmakethegirl.c… for a homemade substitute that is still paleo and super tasty.
This link is no longer active. I am allergic to coconut. Is there an alternative I can use?
You can use soy sauce – it just might not be Paleo. I could be wrong but I believe this is what Robin was trying to link to: http://meljoulwan.com/ Enjoy!
I think this is her link, although it’s not Whole30 (go to Mel’s site and search on “coconut aminos substitute”): http://meljoulwan.com/2014/03/01/substitute-soy-sauce-coconut-aminos/
