FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Can I use chicken thighs?
Yes! Chicken thighs work beautifully and often stay even more tender during slow cooking.
Why add cheese at the end?
Adding cheese too early can make it tough or stringy. Adding it near the end ensures perfectly melted, gooey cheese.
Can I prep this ahead?
Absolutely! Season chicken and mix sauce ingredients the night before. Store separately in refrigerator until ready to cook.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
- Use thick chicken breasts or pound to even thickness
- Don’t lift lid during cooking
