Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 ounces Fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the sliced onion and minced garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to the crock pot.
Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the mushroom mixture in the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and mushrooms in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once finished, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the smothered chicken hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
