Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 ounces Fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the sliced onion and minced garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to the crock pot.
Step 4
Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the mushroom mixture in the crock pot.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and mushrooms in the crock pot.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Step 7
Once finished, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the smothered chicken hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
