This is the best chicken slow cooker recipe ever, and I've tried a lot of them. I can't remember where I originally got it from; my version has been tweaked a little. I don't like mushrooms, but the mushrooms in the condensed soup are really big and easy to take out. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Butter
.7 ounces 1 package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
10.75 ounces 1 can condensed golden mushroom soup
8 ounces 1 container chive and onion cream chease
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the salad dressing mix, mushroom soup, cream cheese, and wine until the sauce mixture is hot, smooth and well combined.
Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a slow cooker, and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on Low setting until chicken is tender, about 4 hours.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: For best results, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs. The bones and skin will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful as it cooks.
Season the chicken generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings on the chicken. This will help it develop a delicious crust and prevent it from becoming bland.
Brown the chicken before cooking: Browning the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before adding it to the slow cooker will help it develop a richer flavor and color.
Add plenty of liquid: The chicken should be covered with liquid in the slow cooker. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
Cook the chicken on low: Cooking the chicken on low for 6-8 hours will help it become tender and fall-off-the-bone. If you're short on time, you can cook it on high for 3-4 hours, but the chicken may not be as tender.
Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before shredding or serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker chicken is a delicious and easy way to prepare chicken for a variety of dishes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tender, flavorful chicken that can be used in tacos, sandwiches, salads, soups, and more. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious way to cook chicken, give slow cooker chicken a try.
