Tip: I almost always cook extra chicken when I am cooking with the slow cooker. Usually, I make enough chicken for two different chicken dishes. Of course this does depend on the spices you add to cook with the chicken. Choose two recipes that will work with those spices, and the different ingredients you add to each recipe.
