Notes
- You can customize the vegetables to your family's taste. Some great additions include carrots, green beans, corn, and diced potatoes.
- If your sauce ends up thinner than you'd like, you can make a cornstarch slurry. Mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water until smooth, then stir it into the slow cooker during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- If you don't have leftover chicken, you can use raw chicken breasts. Cut them into 1-inch pieces and add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time to ensure they're fully cooked.
- Cream of chicken or celery soup works fine if you don't have cream of mushroom soup.
