Make the topping: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with the cornflake crumbs until evenly coated.

Add topping and cook: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the casserole mixture. Cover and cook on High for 2 hours or Low for 3–4 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F.

Optional crispy finish: For an extra golden top, transfer the casserole to an oven-safe dish and broil for 3–5 minutes.

Serve and enjoy: Serve hot over rice or alongside steamed veggies like broccoli or green beans.
