Recipe Tips

  • Cook some vegetables in the slow cooker if you want some extra flavor and nutrition. However, they will take on the color of the sauce and sometimes end up less enjoyable than doing them separately.
  • You can skip adding the cornstarch paste, but you will find the sauce will likely be quite runny.
  • I recommend using chicken thigh, but you can use any cut of chicken that you would like.
  • You can use either fresh or dried herbs, both will work just fine, but if you have some fresh herbs, I recommend using those.
