Crock-Pot Chicken with Mushrooms

Crock-Pot Chicken with Mushrooms

Cooking time 5 hours

Serves: 4

What you need to know before you begin (about crock-pot cooking):

• Once you put the lid on the crock-pot DO NOT OPEN IT, when you open it that stops the cooking.
• Meats go on the bottom, layer with the next hardest ingredient (like carrots), ending with the softest (peas).
•  Cut vegetables no smaller or larger than 1 inch for even cooking.
• Turn your crock-pot on high while your prepping your ingredients.

What you need:

• 4 chicken skinless, boneless chicken breast
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 1 can of condensed mushrooms
• 1 cup of fresh carrots, peeled and chopped into 1” pieces (you may also use whole baby carrots which I like to do since it save me time [I like easy])
• 1 cup of fresh celery, chopped
• 1 cup of fresh mushrooms
• ½ cup onions (I like to use red onions; you may use pearl onion too!)
• 1 cup frozen peas (don't thaw)

Instructions:

• Rinse your chicken and pat dry with a paper towel, sprinkle with salt and pepper, place in the crock-pot in a single layer (if possible).
• Open the can of mushrooms and pour over the chicken, place all of your vegetables in the crock-pot in the order I have them listed above.
• Place the lid on the crock-pot and let this cook for 5 hours. DO NOT OPEN the lid during this time. Alternative cooking would be to set the crock-pot on low and cook for 10 hours.

My personal notes:

I love making this Crock-Pot Chicken with Mushrooms because it is so easy and I can fix it and forget about it.   I will usually make this in the morning about 7am and by noon it’s done which allows me to run errand and return home to a hot meal I didn’t slave over that taste great! Yes, I leave the house while my crock-pot is cooking.  This is one of my mom's favorites :) God bless the woman who invented the crock-pot!
