Slow Cooker Chicken Breasts with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

This slow cooker chicken breasts with creamy mushroom sauce is a simple, easy weeknight dinner. Simply season the chicken breast, mix the cream sauce, add it all to the slow cooker and it's hands-off until dinner time. You can keep it as-is for low carb or add some corn starch at the end to thicken the gravy. Pairs perfectly with some steamed vegetables and/or rice.

Gather up your ingredients.

In a small bowl, mix together the Kosher salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts, then rub it in a bit.

Lay the seasoned breasts in the slow cooker.

In a medium bowl, mix together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir in the fresh mushroom slices.

Pour over the chicken breast.

Heat on low for 6-8 hours.

If you'd like a thick gravy, after the chicken is cooked, turn the slow cooker to high. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water, then pour in and mix with the cream sauce.

Gravy will thicken in about 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with additional paprika for garnish and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy.

Leftover chicken and mushroom cream sauce will stay fresh in a sealed, refrigerated container for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a saucepan on the stove. (note: microwaving is likely to dry out the chicken a bit.)

You can also freeze leftovers for up to 6 months in a sealed freezer bag. You can reheat in a slow cooker on low or on the stovetop in a saucepan.
