Notes

Ingredient Notes
    • Chicken Thighs:If you're not a fan of dark meat, you can also use chicken breasts just be aware the flavor will be different.
        • Avoid Frozen Chicken: It can take too long to come up to a safe temperature per the FDA.
    • Low-Sodium Broth: Use low-sodium broth to avoid an overly salty broth. You can always add more salt to taste, but you can't remove it.
        • Bouillon or a better-than-bouillon base can also be used.
    • Veggies: Just dump out of the package no need to thaw.
    • Crescent Dough Sheets:Look for them near the refrigerated biscuits.
        • Crescent roll dough will do in a pinch!
Tips
  1. Crockpot Liner: For easy cleanup, use a crockpot liner. Look for them near the tin foil and plastic wrap at your grocery store.
    • If you don't have one hand, spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Thicken It Up: Add more or less cornstarch until you reach your desired consistency. 
  3. Add the heavy cream last or it may curdle.
  4. No Peeking:Avoid lifting the lid to peek at your dish. Doing so will lower the temperature of the slow cooker and require you to cook for a longer period of time.
  5. Food Safety: Always make sure the chicken cooks until it is 165 degrees inside.
