  • Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until chicken and carrots are both tender. Stir in the bell peppers and green beans halfway through cooking time. You can add them in at the start if you want but they will be very soft. Note, if cooking whole chicken breasts (not cut into chunks), you may need to increase cooking time by 30 minutes to an hour.
