I would assume that if one used a bar-b-cue sauce such as Sweet Baby Ray’s, instead of the caesar’s, this recipe would be just as good. I will be trying it. SOON
Let me know how it is with BBQ Sauce! Now I’m thinking buffalo sauce with a little ranch dressing could be another variation…oh the possibilities!
When I leave for work in the morning I am gone for 9 hours. To cook something for 4 hours means that it would either sit 4-5 hours prior to cooking at room temp, or sit after cooking for that amount of time, and that would be if I had a timer on my crock. I place the frozen chicken in the fridge the night before, come in from work the next day and parboil the chicken for literally ten minutes, then follow the directions for the rest of the recipe. It doesn’t require the 30 minutes after cooking as long as it is heated through. Takes only about 15 minutes to make on the stove top so why use a crock pot? Everyone is crock pot crazy at the moment, but so many recipes are easier and faster to make on the stove top. Just mentioning…
Thanks for adding this quick and easy non-crock pot variation. Crock pots are wonderful, but the recipe does need to work with your schedule. I hope you enjoyed the sandwiches.
these look fabulous…will try, but with fresh chicken breasts…i have not had any luck with frozen 🙂
Have you tried using frozen chicken breasts in a crock pot??? I promise, it works perfectly in this recipe.
Love this! I can’t believe after 18 years of parenting Costco style, I have never had a bag of their frozen chicken in my freezer! Gotta fix that…
Oh how your life will change now that you’ve discovered that giant bag of frozen chicken breasts!
printing this out ASAP! Makes for a great lunch!!
Yummy! You can never have to many go-to crock pot recipes!
This sounds yummy. I wonder if I could get my picky family to try these.
These sound really good. I’ll have to keep this recipe, especially for after I start working!
I’m bookmarking this recipe. Sounds delicious and it’s easy to make. Woot!
