For an extra layer of flavor, try using a smoky chipotle salsa or adding a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. To prevent the chicken from drying out, especially when cooking on High, you can add a 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the slow cooker. If you don't have cream cheese on hand, you can substitute with 1/2 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt, stirred in during the last 15 minutes of cooking. This recipe is also great served over rice or quinoa for a grain bowl option. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
