Instructions

Notes
-
- For extra crispy chicken, sear the chicken in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side before adding it to the crockpot.
- Substitutes: Use chicken thighs for a juicier result or swap the heavy cream for half-and-half for a lighter version.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
