Variations & TipsFor a bit of extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or a pinch of black pepper to the mix. If you prefer a bit of heat, a dash of cayenne pepper or a few red pepper flakes can spice things up. You can also add a cup of sliced mushrooms or a handful of chopped onions to the slow cooker for additional texture and flavor. For a lighter version, try using a can of cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup instead of cream of chicken.
