💡 Recipe Tips
Chicken thighs will give you an especially juicy result.
Don’t overcook the chicken; slow cookers vary, so check the internal temperature.
For a thicker sauce, let the dish sit uncovered for a few minutes after adding the cream and Parmesan.
Add a little crushed red pepper if you like a spicy kick.
