Slow Cooker Creamy Sriracha Chicken is an easy one-pot dinner perfect for those crazy weeknights. The whole family will love it because you can control the heat level by how much or little sriracha you add. The creaminess from the cream cheese mellows out the heat as well. It is served over red potatoes steamed right in the slow cooker so the cleanup is easy peasy.
