Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 cups Baby bella mushrooms
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds more flavor to the dish.

Step 3

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and place them in the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 4

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and mushrooms for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Transfer the sautéed onion, mushrooms, and garlic mixture to the crock pot, spreading it over the chicken breasts.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and dried thyme until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F).

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve the mushroom chicken hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a complete meal.
