💡 4 Tips for the Best Results
1. 👉 Pat the chicken dry before seasoning — this helps it brown better and enhances flavor.
2. 🔹️ Use fresh peppers for the best texture and sweetness; frozen ones can get too soft.
3. 🔹️ Don’t lift the lid too often — every peek lets heat escape and extends cooking time.
4. ✅ For richer flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving to brighten the dish. 🍋
This Slow-Cooked Chicken with Onions and Peppers is pure comfort in a bowl — simple ingredients, minimal effort, and amazing flavor.
It’s a perfect weeknight dinner or make-ahead meal that the whole family will love. 💖
