Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 2 cups Sliced mushrooms
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked rice or pasta (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Sear the chicken on both sides in the skillet until lightly browned (about 2 minutes per side). Transfer the chicken to the crock pot.
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, minced garlic, and dried thyme. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crock pot.
Add the sliced mushrooms on top of the chicken and sauce mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, add the broccoli florets to the crock pot. Stir gently into the sauce so they are partially submerged.
Cube the cream cheese and add it to the crock pot as well. Cover and cook for an additional 1 hour on low, until the broccoli is tender and the cream cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.
Serve the chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms over cooked rice or pasta if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
