1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.

4. Pour Sauce Over Chicken: Pour the cheese mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring they are well coated.
