Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (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 at the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
Add the sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, and softened cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the liquid mixture.
Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot.
Add the unsalted butter in small pieces on top of the mixture.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once done, remove the chicken breasts and set them aside. Whisk the sauce in the crock pot to ensure it is smooth and creamy.
Return the chicken to the crock pot and stir gently to coat it with the sauce.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
