CROCK POT PEPPER JACK CHICKEN RECIPE’S NOTES

We used our 6 quart Ninja to cook up this dish, but you can use any 6 quart slow cooker.
We now have an Instant Pot version of this recipe too: Instant Pot Pepper Jack Chicken
The whole frozen green beans may seem like an odd addition, but trust me it is so yummy. We always use whole frozen beans. Fresh beans would likely turn out more crisp and canned would give it an entirely different texture.
You can use a different cheese than pepper jack, but then the dish won’t be pepper jack chicken ;).
You can use chicken breasts instead of boneless skinless thighs, but the cooking time will likely be less than the thighs. Watch closely so you don’t dry out the chicken breasts.
