Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt

• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In the crockpot, add the chicken broth, cream cheese, dried thyme, and the sautéed onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Place the seared chicken breasts into the crockpot, ensuring they are covered with the mixture.

Step 7

Cover the crockpot with a lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 8

Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts and whisk the sauce in the crockpot until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Return the chicken to the crockpot and spoon the sauce over the top.

Step 10

Serve the chicken hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a hearty meal.
