Boneless skinless chicken thighs are often juicier and more flavorful than chicken breasts. You may need to reduce the cook time since chicken thighs are smaller. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach 165&deg;F in the thickest part of the meat. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1690158384424\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is my queso chicken watery?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If it&rsquo;s watery, it&rsquo;s probably because you forgot to remove most of the liquid before adding the jar of queso. Remember to remove about 3\/4 of the liquid before stirring in the queso.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1690158392982\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is this chicken spicy?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The spiciness of the dish can be adjusted according to your preferences. If you like less spicy chicken, opt for mild taco seasoning, Rotel, and queso. If you love a spicy kick, go for hotter versions of these ingredients. You can also add jalapenos or more green chiles to make it hotter.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1690158405416\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use frozen chicken breasts? <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Cooking chicken from frozen in the slow cooker can cause the chicken to stay at an unsafe temperature range for too long, per the <a href=\"https:\/\/ask.usda.gov\/s\/article\/Is-it-safe-to-cook-frozen-foods-in-a-slow-cooker-or-crock-pot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USDA<\/a>.
