    Made this tonight with hamburger instead of chicken (the comment above got me curious) and it turned out delish! I went ahead and browned my ground beef first and drained off the grease before putting it in the crockpot. Otherwise I followed the directions and cooked it on LOW for about 6 hours. Not sure if this is technically a Mexican dish, but we had it as a tortilla chip topping/dip and really liked it!

    I made this last night and it was great! My husband and I both loved it. I'd like to make it for a church dinner soon. If I doubled or tripled the recipe, how long would it need to cook?

      If you double or triple the recipe you may need to use a big slow cooker. The will help it cook evenly by distributing the heat where it will be quite full. Just be sure your chicken is thoroughly cooked. You may just need to go an hour or so longer. Just depends on the chicken. With a big slow cooker it may not take any extra time at all. 6 to 8 hours on low.

    What if I don't use frozen chicken breasts? Will it still be cooked at the same heat setting for the same amount of time?

      You will be fine with thawed chicken breasts. Reduce the length of time by an hour. Check to be sure they are not overdone.

    Can this be cooked on high for 4 hours?

      It should be able to be cooked on high for 4 hours. The main thing is to be sure your chicken is cooked through.

    I noticed a couple of posts talking about not using frozen chicken breasts. I don’t see where it says to use frozen chicken breasts.

    Do you have to cook the chicken first? Before putting it on crock? Sorry if that’s a dumb question!

      Hi Michelle. No, you don't have to cook the chicken first. It will be cooking for 8 hours, so that will cook it all the way through.
