Mushroom Chicken In Crockpot

by

I love making mushroom chicken in my crockpot! It’s such a comforting and delicious dish that’s perfect for busy days when I want a hearty meal without much effort. The combination of tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and savory sauce is simply irresistible. Plus, the slow cooking process allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully. Here’s my go-to recipe for an amazing mushroom chicken in the crockpot.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, mushrooms, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  5. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the crockpot to thicken the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving.

This savory mushroom chicken dish pairs perfectly with fluffy rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or buttered egg noodles. The tender chicken practically melts in your mouth, and the rich mushroom sauce brings all the elements together. It’s a fantastic meal that always brings the family together at the dinner table.

My Personal Notes:

I love to add a splash of white wine to the sauce for an extra depth of flavor. It elevates the dish and gives it a gourmet touch. Sometimes I also throw in some baby spinach or kale towards the end of the cooking time for added color and nutrients. It’s a versatile recipe that allows for creativity and personalization.

Conclusion:

So there you have it – my favorite mushroom chicken in the crockpot recipe! It’s a staple in my kitchen, and I always look forward to the wonderful aroma that fills the house as it cooks. Whether it’s a busy weekday or a lazy weekend, this dish never fails to satisfy. Give it a try and enjoy a comforting, flavorful meal with minimal fuss!
