Recipe Notes:
You can use either a 4-quart slow cooker or a 6-quart slow cooker to make this dish. It is best to make sure that the chicken breasts are placed in a single layer on the bottom.
Variations you can do:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
- You can replace the deli ham with bacon or add bacon for more flavor.
- Substitute mozzarella or Parmesan for the Swiss cheese as well.
You can use either a 4-quart slow cooker or a 6-quart slow cooker to make this dish. It is best to make sure that the chicken breasts are placed in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker and not stacked together. If you are using larger size chicken breast, you may need to use a larger slow cooker, reduce portions, or cook in batches.
It’s important to keep the slow cooker lid on throughout the entire cooking time, as the filling requires moisture so it doesn’t dry out like croutons on chicken!
The two cans of cream of soup create a delicious amount of sauce in this dish. You can use just one can if you prefer a less spicy dish.
I tend to layer all ingredients evenly and slice on top for easy portioning when serving. Another option is to wrap ham and cheese around each chicken breast, which can also make serving easier.
Can I use bone-in chicken breasts?
