Notes

To enhance flavor, consider searing the chicken breasts before adding them to the slow cooker. For a thicker sauce, simmer the sauce on the stove after removing the chicken until it reduces to your desired consistency. You can also add bell peppers or snap peas during the last hour of cooking for extra texture.
