How to Make Loaded Chicken in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
So, like I said, this Crock Pot Loaded Chicken is based off a previous recipe, thanks to a wonderful suggestion by reader Vicki. You might be thinking, “Hey! That does NOT look like Swiss cheese!” Well, that is because it is not Swiss Cheese. You see, I picked up my grocery order and lo and behold, they did not include the Swiss Cheese. I was already ready to put this recipe on! I had EVERYTHING else ready! Eeek! What to do? I looked in the fridge, and we had some shredded cheddar, so tada! We used cheddar. You may be thinking, “Why tell me this?” The reason to tell you this is so you can be confident to try out adjustments to any recipe you are making. It may change up the recipe flavor or texture a bit, but if it is a substitution that you think you will like, it may turn out to be a winner…just like this recipe!
Whether you try this recipe as is or try a substitution you think will suit your fancy (Swiss cheese would be an AWESOME one to try), I am sure you and your loved ones will be quite pleased with this recipe. Enjoy, dear readers!

Campbell’s has low-sodium soups you can substitute. In fact I use them whenever possible for the same reason for both my husband’s heart condition and my overall health issues.
