I’m 22 and never learned how to cook. I just bought a crock pot today, thank you for this. I felt like a mom was teaching me ❤

[@AliciaLynnYT]

You are so welcome!😊

[@cfnature5]

I'm the same age and in the same boat, this was a wonderful tutorial

[@ParnellTheChef]

Hi, Alicia! Thanks for showing us how to use a crockpot to make frozen chicken breast. This is so convenient since we don't have to babysit it, and we don't have to remember to defrost the chicken the night before. This chicken could be used in a ton of different recipes. Thanks again, Alicia!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi, Parnell! I love doing chicken up this way for meal prep. No babysitting required, it's dump and go. Thanks as always for watching, my friend!

[@michellescozyhome6290]

Hi, Alicia! Such a great prepping tip. I hope we get to see what you are making with them too. I definitely need some meal ideas for the week!😁 Fantastic share my dear friend. Happy Monday. Many blessings to you. Have a beautiful day. Hugs! 🥰❤️🌻❤️🌻

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Good morning, Michelle! I love doing chicken this way, it really helps with my meal prep! I hope to do a what's for dinner showing the recipes I used the chicken in soon! Thanks as always for watching and Happy Monday!🤗💛💜

[@kayceyraimer9098]

Thank you for this! So many times I have boiled chicken for use in other recipes and have gotten distracted by life and kiddos and come back to wayyy over cooked chicken. This will be a life saver.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

You are very welcome, Kaycey! I have been there myself with distraction and kiddos and overcooked chicken! Lol It's hard to mess it up this way which is part of why I like doing it in the crockpot. Thanks for watching!

[@SJ-ni6iy]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for posting.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Happy to help, thanks for watching!

[@LiveLaughLovewithJen]

This looks so good! We do a crock pot chicken recipe on Wednesday’s and I love it! Thanks for sharing 💕💕. Have a fabulous evening 💕

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Jen! We eat a lot of chicken in this house! Lol Thanks for watching and have a great week!💕

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Love this!! We use so much chicken in our recipes and any tip to save time is appreciated. I was just telling Nabol we need to buy more roasted chicken to save time, but I like this idea so much more.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Maria! Doing up a bunch of chicken ahead of time has been so helpful since we eat so much ourselves. It turns out really good this way and is about as easy as it gets!

[@lifewithpatti9531]

I never thought to cook them frozen. What a great idea.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Good morning, Patti! I had never thought to do it this way before seeing someone else do it either. It works great!

[@CookingwithKory]

Excellent idea. Like you said great for meal prep. Have a great week my friend.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

It does help a lot with meal prep since we use so much chicken. Thanks for watching, Kory!

[@brittany-xo5ei]

Yay! I'm doing a pulled chicken kinda thing i wanted rotisserie but my store didn't have any out! So glad I found your video because I did not want to boil on the stove haha

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I love doing chicken this way, it is so much better than boiling on the stove! Thanks for watching, Brittany!

[@littlebitofeverythingwithjulis]

I have to start using my pot more often thanks for sharing ❤️

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thanks for watching!

[@LifeAdventureswithMichelle]

Great idea. Now that its just the hubs and i, both eating differently. Could be a dinner saver...

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Doing a bunch of chicken up like this is a big time saver for me and makes cooking healthier easier!

[@123valve]

Thanks for the info it was very helpful.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BethAnn10987]

I will do something similar. About once a week I will cook a whole chicken in the instant pot and shred it then toss in ziplocks in the fridge

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Morning Beth, that's a great idea too! We use so much chicken it's nice to have it there ready to go!

[@michellehuneryager2759]

Good prepping idea

[@AliciaLynnYT]

It saves me a lot of time! Thanks for watching, Michelle!

[@beckyrobert9072]

Mind Blown. WHY do I not think of these things? So many years wasted and I have gone to other things because I "had" to wait for it to thaw :(

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Becky, I had the same thought when I first saw someone do this! Thanks for watching!

[@gnostie]

This is very useful. Assuming I’ve done a few frozen breasts in this way and shredded them to be ready for gradual use in recipes, how long would such shredded chicken stay in the fridge without spoiling? I’m not talking hot summers, as I only eat meat in late autumn, winter and early spring. Thank you for the video!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I would say about a week. Thanks for watching!

[@gnostie]

Wow, that’s plenty! Thank you!

[@kimquinn7728]

After seasoning and just after placing lid on she said she cooked it on Low.

[@rdbull5890]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

[@AliciaLynnYT]

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@crystenkingck]

Is chicken one of those meats that if it cooks longer it gets juicer like stew meat or dryer? Wanting to do this overnight but concerned it will be dry after too long. Thanks!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Lean meats like chicken can dry out if cooked too long. They need a lot less cooking time than something like stew meat, for best results!

[@TaylorsFSCooking]

I Never really do this in a crock pot, but have on the stove before

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I always did it on the stove before too but I find this way easier! Thanks for watching, Taylor!

[@slowjamsam]

Roughly how long did it take for ur chicken to finish?I know you mentioned the temp but I didn't catch how long you keep ur chicken on low for. Thanks so much for this video!🤗

[@AliciaLynnYT]

It takes about 4 hours on low for my crock pot. Thanks for watching!

[@slowjamsam]

@@AliciaLynnYT thank you!🤗🤗🤗

[@niasayamuongbo6498]

I 💕 the video....So Amazing Happy new Year 🎊 everyone 🎇🎆🎇🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🍺🍾🥂2021

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thank you! You too!

[@Kendrickson7]

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Yes

[@Winners24-x8n]

Great channel.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

[@HayleysHaus]

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Hayley, you changed your name! I don't know why I hadn't thought to do chicken this way years ago, it is so easy to make a bunch up for meal prep! Egg rolls sound yummy btw!

[@HayleysHaus]

@@AliciaLynnYT yeah im all over the place with it LOL! I plan to document my fitness journey.. well thats my hopes maybe it will hold me accountable. And they were so good!

[@KitchenQueen000]

I became your new friend ♥️ With honesty always full support from me👌👍 Stay safe, stay connected and go ahead with your wonderful skill 👌👍

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@sweetliz]

Could I put in bbq right away or should I wait

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I think you could do it right away

[@LAMB-CHOPPY-CHOPPY]

I'm confused why it says all over the Internet that we shouldn't put frozen chicken in a slow cooker but yet here we are and it works just fine

[@AliciaLynnYT]

It works great! Thanks for watching!

[@maliarasmussen7326]

I looked this up because I’m worried about the dinner I made and it saying it’s not safe. I’m confused by it too!

[@ellediane4972]

I actually called a home economist at my county extension office because I've been so confused. According to the FDA, the chicken stays in the unsafe temperature zone for too long when cooking from frozen in a crockpot. It has nothing to do with quality, i.e., taste, texture, it's a safety issue. The home economist said food can only be at room temperature for 2 hrs before bacteria forms. But, if the temp is 90 or higher, it goes down to a 1 hour safety window. Since the crockpot is above 90 degrees inside, that means the chicken would need to go from frozen to a safe internal temperature in one hour, which isn't possible in a crockpot.

[@joannesmith3991]

thought you wasnt meant to cook frozen chicken in a slow cooker due to the chicken and temp etc

[@kathyclarke6327]

Is it dry?

[@AliciaLynnYT]

No

[@The_Mechanix]

I slow cooked 6 almost thawed breasts in the crockpot for almost 10 hours on high lol and parts are still pink.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Wow! Every crock pot is different but that is a pretty long cook time!

[@fakejarias7882]

Lol you need a new pot then

[@kolaughking1942]

You need a new pot the chicken should be rubbery after 10 hrs on high 😳

[@healthyfoodkitchen7662]

big like 14

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thank you!

[@naylamoreaux4106]

I did not catch a few had it on low or high

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I cook them on low

[@isasdance9049]

did you cook it on low or high?? youre not specific

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Low, like I said at 2:34

[@kimquinn7728]

She said she set it to low just before she placed the lid on.

[@melissagreen9877]

Says low

[@floorman12]

I missed it as well somehow and i was listening for it LOL... 4 hours wow, nice

[@tj29er]
