Nope no liquids! The butter and the moisture in the chicken create the liquid.
This turned out really good! I served it with egg noodles and a side salad. Super simple and delicious!

Hi Katie, could you cook this in the slow cooker on high for 2-3 hours instead of on low for 4-5, also can you omit the peppers all together?
Thank you 🙂
yes to both!
