Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 10.5-ounce can Cream of mushroom soup
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika on both sides.
Lightly dredge the chicken breasts in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Do not cook through. Set the chicken aside.
In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
In the slow cooker, combine chicken broth, heavy cream, and cream of mushroom soup. Whisk until smooth.
Layer the seared chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring they are fully submerged in the creamy sauce.
Top with the sautéed onions and garlic from the skillet.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Once the chicken is ready, taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the smothered chicken with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
