# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The cream cheese mixture creates this incredible velvety sauce that clings to every bite of chicken
  • Its one of those rare dinners that tastes like you spent all day cooking but actually took ten minutes to throw together
  • The combination of crispy bacon and fresh herbs on top adds this perfect contrast to the creamy, tender chicken underneath
02 -
  • Dont be tempted to cook on high to speed things up the longer slower cook time really helps the flavors develop and keeps the chicken from getting tough
  • The sauce will look quite thin at first but thickens beautifully as it cooks and the cheese fully melts
  • If your chicken breasts are enormous, cut them in half horizontally before cooking so they do not dry out
03 -
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before placing it in the slow cooker this helps the cheese mixture adhere better
  • Line your slow cooker with a disposable liner for the easiest cleanup ever
  • If the sauce looks too thick after cooking, stir in a tablespoon of milk or cream to loosen it up
