I cannot believe no one has rated this yet! Made it and family loved it. Super easy and no baking. Will be making this for our next family gathering.

I’m so glad you asked this question! One thing to know is that you don’t ever want to use frozen chicken in a slow cooker. For food safety reasons the USDA advises against it.
Instead, defrost the chicken in the fridge. A pound or two of breasts usually takes about 24 hours to thaw fully. Then all you have to do is add it the next morning and cook as written.
Cook time stays the same as the recipe: 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 8 hours on low, until the chicken reaches 165°F.

Great question! A store-bought rotisserie chicken is already fully cooked. That means you’re mainly heating everything through and letting the stuffing soak up the sauce.
Pull the meat off the bones, chunk or shred it, then layer and cook as written.
ON HIGH: about 1 to 2 hours
ON LOW: about 2 to 3 hours
I’d lean toward high here, since the chicken just needs reheating. It’s ready once the stuffing is soft and everything is hot to 165°F in the center. Once it’s heated through, go ahead and serve so the chicken stays tender.

What is the cooking time when you use a cooked rotisserie chicken?

This is the best bread ever. I have made cinnamon bread and blueberry lemon (my fav) and today I am making cranberry. I do it in my kitchen aid mixer and I do knead it for 5 min before adding the dried fruit. But otherwise, it is incredible as written.
