TIPS AND TRICKS

Serving: I love to serve the Crockpot Marry Me Chicken on a toasted sandwich bun with crisp bacon, on top of romaine lettuce, or white rice. A great versatile dinner that can be served different ways.

Cheese: For this recipe, I prefer using freshly grated parmesan cheese, since it will provide a smoother consistency and will melt better. However, preshredded cheese will be good as well.

Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
