No need to thaw frozen vegetables—they cook perfectly.
Soups can be salty; taste before adding extra salt.
Keep chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Resist lifting the lid during cooking to maintain heat.

Bone-in chicken works but increases cook time.

Thicker filling: reduce broth or add cornstarch slurry.
Creamier filling: stir in ½ cup heavy cream or sour cream after shredding.
Try different soups: cream of mushroom, potato, or broccoli.
