How to Store Crockpot Marry Me Chicken

Leftovers? No problem! Store any extra chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in the microwave or on the stove. If it seems a little thick after being stored, just add a splash of chicken broth or water when reheating.

Tips to Make Crockpot Marry Me Chicken

Cheese Choices: If mozzarella isn’t your favorite, you can try cheddar or Monterey Jack instead.
Spice It Up: Add some diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes if your family enjoys some heat.
Quick Prep: For even faster prep, buy pre-chopped chicken from the store to save time.

Variation

If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can replace the cream of chicken soup with a non-creamy soup like chicken broth and add a splash of lemon juice for brightness. If you have a dairy allergy, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream instead!
