To thicken the sauce, you can either remove the liquid from the slow cooker and pour into a saucepan OR you can thicken the sauce in the slow cooker by cooking on high for ⏱️ 30 minutes or so. The quickest method (and most effective) is to use the stovetop to thicken the sauce. It takes just a few minutes over medium heat to thicken, whisking often.

Serve the chicken over a bed of rice or vegetables, and pour on the sauce. Serve immediately.
