I substituted SILK milk (dairy free) for regular milk & omitted the cream. It does call for 1/3 C cream. I know they make SILK cream (like half & half) but the store didn't carry it. I also omitted 2 bay leaves. I used a 3-in-1 crockpot. You can cook (like on a stovetop), bake (like in an oven) or use it as a crockpot. You can omit the browning of the chicken or use a regular stove top to brown it
This is modeled after a horribly caloric meal I used to get at The Cheesecake Factory when I was a little girl--the fried macaroni and cheese balls and a slice of cheesecake to top it off. Since I went almost entirely dairy-free and started majorly watching calories, I've found myself craving those foods. And when a craving strikes, you just have to make a substitute, right? The recipe really does emulate the textures and tastes of that childhood meal.
