- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an added layer of flavor.
Cooking
- Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

- Stir the sauce in the crock pot to combine all the delicious flavors.

Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the broth and seasonings for a few hours before cooking. To thicken the sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir it into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking. You can substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Add some chopped spinach or kale for extra nutrition and color.
