Ingredients
list of 7 items
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, NOT diluted
½ cup water

Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
list end
Instructions
list of 5 items
1. Place condensed soup, water, and gravy packets in a slow cooker. Whisk together until completely combined. Add garlic.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Optional step: brown chicken in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, just to add color and flavor before
placing it in the slow cooker. This is not necessary if you don’t have the time, though!
4. Add chicken to the slow cooker and top with mushrooms. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. Taste the sauce and season with
salt and pepper, if necessary.
5. At this point, you can either spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve; OR you can remove the chicken from the slow cooker, shred with two forks,
and then stir the shredded chicken back into the mushroom sauce before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Recipe Notes
Write list…
• If you have extra time and you want to add flavor and color to your chicken, you can brown the meat in a skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side before
adding it to the slow cooker. That step is totally optional (and definitely not necessary if you choose to shred the meat at the end of the cooking time).•
Be careful not to overcook your chicken breasts. I find that the chicken breasts have the best texture when cooked in my slow cooker on HIGH for about
2-3 hours. That keeps them moist and juicy, and prevents them from drying out. If you would like a dish with a longer cooking time, try using 2 lbs. of
boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of the breasts. The thighs tend to stay juicy when left in a Crock Pot for extended periods.• Also remember — every
slow cooker runs at a slightly different temperature (which is why the recipe gives you general time ranges, rather than exact times). Since my slow cooker
tends to cook at a relatively high temperature, I find that the meal is best when cooked on HIGH for about 2 hours or on LOW for about 4 hours. Just get
familiar with your pot and adjust accordingly.
