Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes, chicken thighs will work well and add extra moisture and flavor. They may require slightly less cooking time due to higher fat content.
What can I substitute for Lawry's seasoning if I don't have it?
You can use a mixture of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of paprika or dried herbs to mimic the flavor of Lawry's seasoning.
Is it possible to make this recipe in an Instant Pot instead of a crockpot?
Yes, you can cook the ingredients in an Instant Pot using the slow cook function or pressure cook for about 20 minutes with natural release. Adjust seasoning after cooking.
How long can I store leftovers, and can I freeze them?
Cooked portions keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and can be frozen for longer storage. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
What if my mozzarella cheese doesn’t melt well on top?
For better melting, add the shredded mozzarella during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking, or broil the top in the oven briefly after slow cooking.
