Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts, sautéed onion, garlic, and mushrooms into the crock pot.
Pour the diced tomatoes with their juices and chicken broth into the crock pot.
Stir in the tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil until combined.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once done, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the chicken with the mushroom-tomato sauce over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
