- Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches a safe internal temperature.

- Substitute Monterey Jack or Colby Jack cheese for the cheddar if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat gently, adding a splash of chicken broth or milk if the sauce becomes too thick.
