Can I use a different cut of meat?

Absolutely. The beauty of slow cooking is flexibility. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work wonderfully and stay moist. If you use bone-in pieces, increase the cooking time slightly and check for doneness near joints.

What can I do if my sauce is too thin?

Remove the lid for 20 to 30 minutes near the end of cooking to let the sauce reduce. You can also stir in a small slurry of cornstarch and water, heating until the sauce thickens, or mash a few spoonfuls of the shredded chicken into the sauce to add body.

Is this safe to cook on high?

Yes, but with caveats. You can cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, but watch for dryness. Low and slow yields the most tender results, especially with lean chicken breasts.

How do I make this less spicy?

Reduce or omit the pepper flakes, and taste before serving. The dish still offers plenty of flavor from sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan even with no heat.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the ingredients in the slow cooker insert, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking. When you are ready, bring the insert to room temperature for a few minutes, then cook as directed.
