# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • The cheese mixture creates this incredible velvety sauce that clings to every bite of chicken
  • My family actually fought over the leftovers, and that never happens with regular weeknight meals
  • Everything happens in one pot, so you can set it and forget it until dinner time
02 -
  • I once forgot to soften the cream cheese first and ended up with lumpy sauce, so learn from my mistake
  • The sauce thins out beautifully as it cooks, so do not worry if it looks thick going in
  • Reserving half the bacon for the topping is crucial for that crispy texture contrast
03 -
  • Spray your crockpot insert with cooking spray for easier cleanup later
  • If the sauce looks too thick initially, do not add liquid, it will thin out as it cooks
