Notes
Feel free to adjust the recipe to your taste. You can use different cheeses or add more vegetables. Ensure chicken is fully cooked. For a crispier top, broil the dish in the oven for a few minutes after slow cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
