 Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional but recommended)

  • ½ cup chicken broth or milk

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or parsley

  • Optional additions:

    • ½ cup sour cream or heavy cream (stir in at the end)

    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

 Crockpot Instructions

  1. Lightly spray the crockpot with non-stick spray.

  2. Place chicken breasts in the bottom.

  3. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  4. In a bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup and broth (or milk).

  5. Pour mixture over chicken.

  6. Add sliced mushrooms on top.

  7. Cover and cook:

    • HIGH: 3–4 hours

  8. (Optional) Stir in sour cream or Parmesan during the last 20 minutes.
