Creamy Garlic Mushroom Chicken in a Slow Cooker Recipe Yields 6 Servings
Six skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- Two cups of chopped mushrooms - One tablespoon of olive oil - One teaspoon of salt - Half a teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 minced garlic cloves
-- One cup of chicken broth
A can of cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz) and a cup of sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme - 2 tablespoons of minced fresh parsley
- Less than half a cup of Parmesan shreds
How to Follow
First, sprinkle some salt and pepper on top of the chicken breasts. To get a beautiful golden brown hue, cook the chicken in a big pan over medium heat in olive oil. Make sure to flip it over halfway through. The goal here is not to fully cook the chicken, but to add flavor.
2. After the chicken has been browned, set it in the slow cooker's base.
3. Sauté the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms in the same skillet until aromatic and the mushrooms begin to shed their moisture, which should take around 4 minutes.
Fourth, scrape off any browned parts from the skillet and add the chicken broth; bring to a boil. The key is to include those rich flavors into our meal.
Fifth, when the chicken has been slow-cooked, pour the garlicky mushroom mixture over it.
Step 6: Combine the sour cream, parsley, thyme, cream of mushroom soup, and mushrooms in a bowl. Toss the chicken and mushrooms with this luscious mixture.
Cook, covered, for 5 to 6 hours on low heat or 3 to 4 hours on high heat, or until chicken is tender.
8. For a finishing touch of taste, add grated Parmesan cheese on top right before serving.
Tips and Variations—If you prefer dark meat, you may make this meal more richer by using chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- A Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine before adding the broth if you want a little acidity from the wine to cut through the cream.
- A Don't be scared to experiment with herbs; a little of sage or rosemary may change the song of this meal without changing its heartwarming, healthy vibe.
After hours of waiting patiently, the aroma that will fill your house when you open your slow cooker's cover will be very comforting. This meal is as classic as the love we put into it because of its perfume, which is full of herbs and garlic and blended with the earthiness of mushrooms. Have a delightful time, my love, and may the familiar taste transport you to a more carefree era with every bite.
