SO GOOD

Generally I'm not a big chicken person, but this sounds pretty yummy! Plus, I think Marlene sounds like a name I could trust.

Can I use cream cheese instead of the heavy cream in the sauce? I have the cream cheese in the fridge along with all the other ingredients. I would hate to go out just for one thing because I will bring back half the store. It always happens that way for me.

Hi SissieSass, a better substitute would be to add a little melted butter to milk. That way it will be more of the right consistency. - Natalie, Editor of AllFreeSlowCookerRecipes

A nice lightened up slow cooker recipe without a too heavy sauce, bring cream to room temp or heat slightly to avoid sauce separating.
