FAQs
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes, boneless chicken thighs work well and often remain more moist after slow cooking. Adjust cooking time as needed until the chicken is tender.
Do I need to add water or broth to the slow cooker?
No, the cream of chicken soup provides enough moisture for cooking and flavor, so additional liquid is not necessary.
