Notes

If the sauce separates after the chicken is cooked, remove the chicken and vegetables. Whisk the sauce until it comes back together, then return the chicken to the slow cooker.
You can serve the chicken whole or shred it using two forks or a mixer.
For variations, you can add green beans or bell pepper. To make the sauce richer, add softened diced cream cheese. If you want a thinner consistency, add one cup of chicken broth.
