# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Set it and forget it cooking that delivers restaurant quality results with almost zero effort
  • The cheese mixture creates this incredibly rich sauce that keeps the chicken moist no matter what
02 -
  • The sauce might look a little separated when you first lift the lid but give it a gentle stir and it comes back together beautifully
  • Don't be tempted to cook this on high to speed it up the chicken tends to get tough and the sauce can break
03 -
  • Sometimes I use chicken thighs instead of breasts because they're more forgiving and stay juicy even if they cook a bit longer
  • If your sauce looks too thick at the end stir in a splash of chicken broth or heavy cream to loosen it up
