Q1: Can I use frozen chicken breasts in this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but it's best to thaw them first for even cooking and food safety. If cooking from frozen, increase the time slightly and ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Q2: Is Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken keto-friendly?

Absolutely. Just skip the bun and serve it in lettuce wraps or over steamed veggies. The recipe is high in protein and low in carbs, making it a great fit for keto diets.

Q3: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. You can cook it fully and store it in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to loosen the texture.

Q4: What if I don’t have a slow cooker?

No slow cooker? No problem. You can make this in a Dutch oven or large pot on low heat, covered, for about 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
