  • Use a large slow cooker: This recipe makes a lot of food, so you'll need a slow cooker that's at least 6 quarts in size.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure that there's enough space for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the food will steam instead of roast.
