For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
If you don't have Italian dressing on hand, try using a vinaigrette with similar flavor profile.
To thicken the sauce after cooking, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking time or whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last 15 minutes.
Shredded chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Customize the sauce by adding other ingredients such as minced garlic, chopped onion, or smoked paprika.

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinner time.

    I tried it with both the low and high settings, and it turned out great either way. The chicken was so tender and juicy.
