Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Instead Of Chicken Breasts?

Yes, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs in this California chicken recipe in exchange for the boneless skinless chicken breasts called. Using chicken thighs will result in a moister chicken because thighs are considered dark meat chicken. However the nutritional information of this recipe will be different too with more calories and fat per serving than if you used breast meat.

How Big Is A Serving Size?

In this recipe for Slow Cooker California Chicken we used 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken with the average weight of a chicken breast being about 4 ounces before cooking. Thus, a serving is one, 4 ounce chicken breast plus 1/4 of the vegetables and sauce. We do not, as a rule weigh or measure out serving sizes unless it is very easy to do so. Your best bet is to just divide the finished dish by the number of servings.

Can I Make This California Chicken Recipe Ahead Of Time?

If you would like to do a little bit of meal prepping ahead of time, this recipe for California chicken cooked in the slow cooker is a great meal-prep recipe. Often times I will go ahead and cook a few recipes on Sunday and stash them away in the refrigerator so that all I have to do is re-heat them (I use the microwave) and serve them up to my family.

You can also make meal prep bowls with rice and this chicken and then you have lunches ready to go and pack with you for work or school.
