Can you put raw chicken with vegetables in a slow cooker?

Yes! It’s perfectly safe to add the raw chicken to the casserole dish with the vegetables—as long as the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

Is it better to slow cook chicken on high or low?

Either one! Normally, low is recommended as the longer, slower cooking time results in the most tender chicken. BUT, when you’re short on time, high works well too.
