Notes
- If the sauce in the crock pot is too liquid, you can leave the lid off to help evaporate some of the juices, or you can thicken with cornstarch. If you’re following a low carb or keto diet you can thicken with 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum mixed with 1 tsp olive oil.
- To keep the chicken from breaking apart while stirring to melt the cheeses, and thickening the sauce, you can pull it out and set aside. Add back in when sauce is complete.
