Add some chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes during the last hour of cooking for extra color and nutrients.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened before adding for easier mixing and smoother sauce.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used and may result in a juicier dish. Adjust cooking time if needed, as thighs may cook slightly faster.

Is it necessary to cook on low heat?

Cooking on low allows the chicken to become tender without drying out. You can cook on high for about 2 to 3 hours, but check frequently to avoid overcooking.
