How to Thicken the Sauce:

If you want a thicker sauce, you can leave the lid off the slow cooker for a few minutes. This usually results in the sauce getting thicker.

You can also reduce the amount of chicken broth you add and this should help with thickening the sauce.

How to Store Leftovers:

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.  

How to Freeze and Reheat:

Place room temperature leftovers in a freezer safe container. If stored properly the leftovers will stay fresh for up to 3 months.

When you are ready to serve, thaw ingredients in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat leftovers in the microwave for a delicious meal.

• Chicken – You can easily use boneless skinless chicken thighs in this recipe instead of chicken breasts if you prefer. 
• Heat – If you like to add in some extra flavor or heat to the sauce, sprinkle in some cayenne pepper.
• Lower Fat – If you would like to reduce the fat, use half and half instead of heavy cream.
• Chicken Broth – We used Chicken broth in this recipe, but you can also use chicken stock.
• Cauliflower Rice – Instead of serving with pasta, this creamy chicken would be delicious with rice. You can serve it with white rice, cauliflower rice, or brown rice.

Can I Make Marry Me Chicken in the Skillet?
