This goes into the cooker quickly, with no precooking and chicken straight from the freezer! I like to put it in before we leave for church so I can come home to a nice meal.

Tips

Nutritional yeast flakes are a seasoning and not like bread yeast. They can be purchased at a health food store or online. If you cannot find them they can be omitted. Do not substitute any other yeast!
