For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the Italian dressing mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator before adding it to the slow cooker.
To add more vegetables, you can include sliced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the slow cooker along with the chicken.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
This recipe is also excellent with chicken thighs. Adjust cooking time as needed.
