Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Crusty bread for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
- Combine Ingredients: In the crockpot, add the cream of mushroom soup, sliced mushrooms, white wine, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Stir to combine.
- Add Chicken: Place the seared chicken breasts into the crockpot, ensuring they are covered by the sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Serve: Once cooked, shred the chicken in the sauce using two forks. Stir to combine and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread for dipping into the creamy sauce.
