Tips

  • Sear chicken and sauté onions first for better flavor, though it's optional.
  • Check chicken periodically as slow cookers vary; it's done when it falls apart easily with a fork.
  • Any type of cheese can be used, such as Gruyère, Swiss, or provolone.
  • Mold can be cut off cheese and it will be fine.
