I am making this recipe but I forgot to start it until now. My question is, can I cook this on HIGH instead of low? I am using frozen chicken breasts…when will it be done if I cook on high?

Crockpot Sour Cream Salsa Chicken

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 pkg reduced sodium taco seasoning mix
1 cup salsa
2 TBL cornstarch
1/4 cup light sour cream

Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Add chicken breasts. Sprinkle with seasoning. Top with salsa. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. When ready remove chicken. Mix cornstarch with a small amount of water. Stir into salsa sauce. Stir in sour cream.

    I would forget the crockpot…just saute the chicken breasts and proceed with the recipe on the stove top on med. heat, should take only about an hour.

    If you cook on high your chicken will cook on outisde and be frozen on the inside

    Cooking it on high will tend to burn not improve cooking.
    If you have a microwave, defrost the chicken first.
    Otherwise, don’t worry, just go the full 8 hours on Low.

    Try defrosting the chicken in the microwave first and then go from there. You can cook the chicken from frozen, but not on high with the salsa because after about an hour or so, what’s suppose to be your sauce might dry up and possibly burn or you’ll defrost the chicken and release the nasty white stuff that you sometimes have to skim off the top of the water when boiling chicken. And it takes longer that way.

    If you can’t defrost in a microwave, place chicken in zip lock bags, make sure they are burped and sealed really good. Float them in HOT water for about 10 minutes, flipping over. I have done this many, many times…..since you are going to use the chicken right away, it will not hurt anything. While this is being done, get the other stuff in the crock pot and voila, will be done by dinner time.

    **defrosting by microwave sometimes ‘cooks’ the edges, be careful.

    I would suggest one of two things:

    Defrost your chicken breast in cool water for a while or in the microwave.

    Or, let your chicken defrost today and cook this tomorrow.

    If you cook it on high, it will most likely be tough and chewy and you will wish that you hadn’t wasted your chicken- that’s my experience at least.

    Good luck with your chicken! I hope whatever you do turns out yummy!
