You can, but using frozen meat will add a significant amount of time to your cooking. Also, the purpose of using a slow cooker is to allow the meat to absorb and be penetrated by the sauce and juices. Using a frozen meat would prevent that from happening until the meat was fully defrosted. I would definitely recommend defrosting the meat before you use it in the slow cooker.

I am new to slow cooker recipes and am excited to try many of your chicken ones. I often use frozen boneless, skinless chicken in recipes, and when I am baking it, I do not defrost and it works great. Can I start with frozen chicken in the crock pot? Do I increase the time and or temperature? Thanks for your help.

Great question! This photo is really just meant to be a basic reference to the recipe, as it is not the exact recipe listed here, it's just a slightly different version of it. The chicken in the photo has been chopped up very fine. And yes, it does look like red pepper flakes were added. You can add the pepper flakes and chop your chicken the same way if you'd like, as it would not add any additional weight watchers points to the total.

I am confused by the picture…it looks like its in small pieces while the recipe does not state this. There even seems to be something red in the picture, red pepper flakes? again not in the recipe.
