# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Five minutes of prep time for a dinner that tastes like you spent all day cooking
  • That moment when you lift the lid and the cheese sauce is bubbling around perfectly tender chicken
  • The combination of crispy bacon and creamy sauce makes everyone ask for seconds
02 -
  • Resist the urge to lift the lid during cooking every peek adds 15 minutes to the cook time
  • If your chicken breasts are particularly thick pound them lightly or theyll take longer than the sauce can handle
  • The sauce will look thin at first but thickens beautifully as the chicken releases its juices
03 -
  • Cook your bacon in the oven on a foil-lined sheet at 200°C for perfectly even crisp pieces
  • Let the cream cheese sit on the counter for at least an hour to avoid any lumps in your sauce
  • Line your slow cooker insert with parchment paper for the easiest cleanup ever
