Tips

  • Use sun-dried tomatoes not in oil if preferred, but those in oil are fine too.
  • Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  • Shred chicken directly in the crockpot for minimal cleanup.
  • Ensure orzo is submerged in liquid for even cooking.
  • Let kale wilt and Parmesan melt for a creamy finish.
