I wanted to make shredded chicken in the slow cooker. I put 6 raw frozen chicken breasts in my crockpot. I usually add water in the beginning to ensure the chicken stays juicy. I had just gotten done boiling water for tea and added two cups of boiling water over the frozen chicken without thinking.
Is the chicken now contaminated because I added boiled water over it? I read this can cause the outside to heat up before the inside and cause bacteria to multiply.
It's now been fully cooked on low for 8 hours, but I'm worried that I might get sick eating it.
