Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the cream cheese mixture. If your family prefers dark meat, swap the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. For a lower-fat version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and turkey bacon. You can also add some chopped broccoli or spinach to the slow cooker for added nutrition and color.
