Helpful Tips and Variations:
Is it necessary to use chicken breast for this Fall Crockpot recipe? I like to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you can definitely replace with chicken thighs instead (also boneless and skinless if available).
How can I replace the heavy cream? Instead of heavy cream, you can use half and half; it’s a good sub and it’s lower in fat.
How can I replace chicken broth? Vegetable broth, pasta water, or you can simply use water, it works too.
Can I prepare this recipe in a skillet? You can absolutely make in this recipe in a skillet instead of a crockpot. The steps remain almost the same; cook the chicken first, remove from pan, cook the rest of the ingredients, add the cream to the heated broth and seasoning, then add back the chicken to the pan and let it simmer.
Can I add any vegetables? You can add mushrooms, chopped broccoli or carrots.
What seasoning Can I add? You can add some thyme, dried oregano, and chili flakes for a kick of heat.
How can I store leftovers? Keep any leftovers you’ve got in the refrigerator for up to 5 days as long as you store them in an airtight container.
Can I freeze any leftovers? This recipe is freezer friendly; it can keep up to 3 months if stored properly. Use a freezer friendly container, place in the freezer, and easily reheat in the microwave when needed.
How can I serve this fall Crockpot Marry Me Chicken?
