INSTRUCTIONS:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by slicing the fresh mushrooms, dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic. Set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Sauté the Mushrooms and Onion:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion to the skillet, and sauté until they are softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Transfer the cooked mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.
- Brown the Chicken:
- In the same skillet, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear them on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the slow cooker, arranging them on top of the mushroom mixture.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until smooth and well combined. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and mushrooms in the slow cooker.
- Slow Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Serve:
- Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and transfer it to a serving platter. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the Slow Cooker Mushroom Chicken hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
