Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Sliced mushrooms (fresh or canned)
- 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the soup mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Layer the sliced mushrooms on top of the chicken and soup mixture.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and scatter them over the mushroom layer.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the cooking time is nearly finished, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish. Replace the lid and allow the cheese to melt for 5-10 minutes.
Carefully stir the dish to combine all the ingredients and create a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley. This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
