Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth Use low-sodium for healthier option.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Optional for searing.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to garnish Fresh parsley For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients, slice the mushrooms, and mince the garlic.
Searing the Chicken (Optional)
  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Place the seared chicken (or raw chicken if skipping the searing) into the slow cooker. Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and chicken broth.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with rice or crusty bread.

Notes

For substitutions, replace mushrooms with green beans or spinach. Let the chicken marinate in the broth and garlic for at least an hour for added flavor. Avoid overcrowding the slow cooker for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
