When it comes to slow cooking, it's all about layering the ingredients in the right order. Make sure to place the chicken tenders at the bottom of the Crockpot, followed by the broccoli and then the cream of chicken soup. This will ensure that everything cooks evenly and that the sauce simmers down to perfection.
