# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- Five minutes of prep in the morning means you get to come home to dinner already done
- The combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and three cheeses creates the most velvety sauce youve ever tasted
02 -
- Dont use high heat setting or the dairy proteins can separate and youll end up with a grainy texture
- The sauce will look thin at first but thickens beautifully as it cooks down with the chicken juices
03 -
- Pat your chicken dry with paper towels before placing it in the crockpot so the sauce sticks better
- Use a slow cooker liner if you want to avoid scrubbing baked-on cheese from your crock
