1. Can I use frozen chicken?

Yes, but add an extra hour of cook time on LOW and ensure it reaches 165°F internally.

2. Can I make this vegetarian?

Absolutely! Skip the chicken and add extra beans or tofu for a protein boost.

Long-grain white or brown rice both work—just adjust cooking time slightly for brown rice.

Add diced jalapeños or chipotle peppers in adobo for smoky heat.
