Slow Cook Chicken Mushroom

by

I absolutely adore the aroma of slow-cooked chicken and mushrooms wafting through my kitchen. The combination of tender chicken with earthy and meaty mushrooms makes for a hearty and satisfying meal. In this article, I’ll share my favorite slow-cook chicken mushroom recipe and provide some tips for achieving the most succulent, flavorful dish.

Ingredients:

For this recipe, you’ll need the following:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound of fresh mushrooms (I prefer using a combination of cremini and shiitake)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste

Instructions:

First, I like to season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a hint of thyme. Then, I heat some butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on both sides. Once the chicken is golden, I transfer it to the slow cooker.

In the same skillet, I sauté the onions and garlic until they are fragrant and translucent. Then, I add in the mushrooms and continue to cook until they release their juices.

Next, I sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. This will help to thicken the sauce later on. I transfer the entire mixture to the slow cooker, on top of the chicken breasts.

Then, I pour in the chicken broth and add some fresh rosemary for an extra layer of flavor. I cover the slow cooker and let everything simmer on low for about 6 hours. The chicken becomes incredibly tender, and the mushrooms soak up all the savory goodness.

Finally, I stir in the heavy cream to create a luscious, creamy sauce that binds everything together. The aroma is irresistible, and the taste is even better!

Serving Suggestions:

I love to serve this delectable chicken and mushroom dish over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes or a mound of buttery egg noodles. It’s the ultimate comfort food that never fails to impress.

Conclusion:

This slow-cooked chicken mushroom recipe has become a staple in my kitchen, and it’s perfect for cozy family dinners or special occasions. The rich and savory flavors of the tender chicken and earthy mushrooms are truly a delight for the senses. Give this recipe a try, and I’m sure it will become a favorite in your home as well!
