Recipe for Creamy Mushroom Chicken in the Crockpot

Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approx. 1.50 – 1.75 lbs)

½ can Progresso creamy mushroom soup

4 oz. button mushrooms, sliced

Approx. 1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp Italian spices

Put chicken in crockpot. Add mushrooms and spices. Pour soup over ingredients. Cook on low 5 to 6 hours or on high 3.5 – 4 hours. If sauce is too thin for you, add flour to thicken. Serve chicken breast slices in mushroom sauce on a bed of egg noodles and a side salad or veggie. Serves 4.
