Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly sear the chicken breasts on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step is optional but adds flavor.
Step 2
Place the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic at the bottom of the crockpot.
Step 3
Arrange the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
Step 4
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, thyme, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
Step 5
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2.5-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Step 6
About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir it into the sauce in the crockpot to thicken it. Let it cook for the remaining time.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed.
Step 8
Serve the chicken and mushrooms with the creamy sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
