Can I use chicken breasts instead of tenders?
Yes, but cut them into smaller pieces so they cook evenly in the 4–6 hour window on low. Check for doneness (165°F internal temp) before proceeding.
Can I make this on high heat?
Yes, reduce cooking time to 2–3 hours on high. Monitor chicken for doneness to avoid overcooking.
Should I cook the pasta ahead of time?
Yes, cook the angel hair pasta separately and add it in step 9 to prevent it from becoming mushy.
How do I store leftovers?
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of broth to loosen the sauce.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes, double all ingredients and use a larger slow cooker. Cooking time on low remains 4–6 hours; check that chicken reaches 165°F.
