Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the sliced mushrooms, cooked onion and garlic mixture, and diced tomatoes (with their juice) over the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture into the crock pot, distributing it evenly over the ingredients.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Once cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the Italian chicken with mushrooms hot. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Pair with your favorite sides such as pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
