👩🏻🍳 Expert tips
- Use the right size slow cooker: Make sure you use a 4 quart or larger slow cooker to ensure that all the ingredients fit and cook evenly.
- Cut the potatoes and carrots evenly: When cutting the potatoes and carrots, try to make them as uniform as possible in size so that they cook evenly.
- Don’t overcook the chicken: Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry. Check the chicken’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure it’s cooked to at least 165°F (74°C). And then it’s done! If you keep cooking it, it will be overcooked.
- Add more liquid if needed: If you find that the sauce is too thick, you can add more milk or chicken broth to thin it out to your desired consistency.
