Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown.
Step 4
Transfer the cooked onion, garlic, and mushrooms to the slow cooker.
Step 5
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika. Place them on top of the onion and mushroom mixture in the slow cooker.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Step 7
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 8
About 15 minutes before serving, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the gravy.
Step 9
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 10
Serve the chicken with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
