     Pro Tips...

    To make Beer Braised Chicken, you can use regular boneless chicken breasts or tenderloins.

     

    To braise meat, you should technically cook this on high so that your slow cooker will be around 300 degrees. However, this recipe cooks on low, as well.

     

    This Beer Braised Chicken recipe is delicious made with a pumpkin beer or a stout beer. However, you can use any beer you enjoy drinking. They all taste great in this dish!
