smothered slow cooker chicken


We were searching for something healthy and delicious, and the two of us concocted this wonderful dish.  It's chock full of veggies and made in the slow cooker. 

Smothered Slow Cooker Chicken

  • 2 leeks, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 4 celery stalks, sliced
  • 6 chicken breast halves
  • 1 t. tarragon
  • 1 t. basil
  • 1 t. thyme
  • 1/2 t. pepper
  • 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
  • 10-3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup
  • 1-oz. package onion soup mix
  • 2 T. cornstarch
  • 1/3 dry white wine

Place leeks, carrots, and celery in a large slow cooker.  Arrange chicken breasts over the top.  Sprinkle with seasonings.  Top with mushrooms.  In a separate bowl, combine soup and soup mix; pour over chicken.  Cover and cook on high setting for 4 hours (5 hours if using frozen chicken breasts).  In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch and wine.  Pour over chicken and stir well.  Continue cooking on high setting, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.  Serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.  Serves 6.
