For richer flavor, sear the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. If you like a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as celery or mushrooms. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the slow cooker. Chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breasts, ensure you trim any excess fat.
