Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 ounces Cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sear them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the crock pot.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add these to the crock pot.

Step 3

Top the chicken in the crock pot with the sliced mushrooms.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken and mushrooms in the crock pot.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, and the flavors have melded together.

Step 6

Once the cooking time is complete, taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If the gravy is too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of additional chicken broth.

Step 7

Serve the chicken with mushroom gravy over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
