- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- In a skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side. This step helps seal in the juices and adds flavor to the dish.
- Place the browned chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the condensed cream of mushroom soup. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk in the flour at this point.
- Pour the mushroom mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Serve the chicken breasts with the mushroom sauce spooned over the top. You can garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy your Slow Cooker Mushroom Chicken!
