Tips for Making Slow Cooker Ground Chicken

• Brown the chicken first: Browning the ground chicken in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker can add extra flavor.
• Use a liner: A slow cooker liner makes cleanup a breeze.
• Don't overcook: Ground chicken can dry out if it's cooked too long. Check the internal temperature to make sure it's cooked through (165 degrees Fahrenheit).
