Tips
For accurate serving sizes, weigh your empty slow cooker before starting, then weigh it again after the recipe is done and subtract the initial weight to get the total weight of the finished recipe. Divide this by the number of servings to get the exact serving size weight.
Store everything frozen; no need to thaw. Just toss in the microwave with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or water, cover with a paper towel, microwave for 3-4 minutes, mix, then microwave another 1-2 minutes. Add more liquid to reconstitute the sauce or increase creaminess.
Make sure to blend the cottage cheese for 2-3 minutes to ensure it’s completely smooth all the way through; heating up slightly in the microwave can help with the process.
Leave the chicken whole to shred later for juicier chicken and easier shredding.
