# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The cheese mixture creates an incredibly velvety sauce that clings to every bite of chicken
- Set it and forget it cooking lets you focus on other things while dinner practically makes itself
02 -
- Cream cheese must be completely softened or you'll end up with lumpy sauce instead of smooth velvet
- Resist the urge to lift the lid too often during cooking, as heat escape can significantly extend your cooking time
03 -
- Cook your bacon ahead of time and keep it in the fridge so this recipe comes together even faster
- Line your slow cooker with a removable liner for incredibly easy cleanup after all that cheese
