I cooked this up in my Crock-Pot Casserole Crock
Love it when my favorite creamy flavors come together for the perfect home-cooked meal!
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 8 oz frozen or fresh sliced portobello mushrooms
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream for later
- 1 can can 8-10 refrigerated biscuits, for later
- Cut chicken into bite sized chunks
- Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray
- Add chicken and mushrooms to slow cooker and toss with flour and seasonings to coat
- Slowly stir in broth
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4
- Stir in heavy cream
- Remove biscuits from can and place on top of chicken mixture (you can stretch them out a little if necessary to cover top completely)
- Cover and continue cooking on high until biscuits are done, about another hour
I cooked this on high in my casserole crock for 3 1/2 hours plus another hour with the biscuit topping
This was SUCH an easy and tasty meal! My husband and I both licked our bowls clean…and I promised him I’d make it again soon. In addition to the mushrooms I threw in some baby carrots, frozen corn and peas and it came together perfectly. I can’t wait to make this again!
Sounds perfect! Love the additional veggies since it makes it such a complete meal. So glad you liked it 🙂
This looks delicious, but I do have a question. How do would you make this in a regular crock pot? Thanks so much. 🙂
Hi Joann! You would do everything pretty much the same, the only difference would be in adding your biscuit topping. Depending on the size of your slow cooker, you might not fit as many biscuits on top. So, a little less biscuit to filling ration but otherwise, everything should work pretty much the same!
Could you substitute milk for the cream?
Yes, but you’d need to thicken more with flour or cornstarch (maybe 2 tablespoons to 2 tablespoons of liquid to create a slurry and stir it in with the milk)
Can I use already cooked chicken?
I am afraid it might dry out your chicken if you put it in already cooked. My recommendation is to make it in the slow cooker with uncooked chicken. If you had chicken already cooked up you could modify this for the oven, though I can’t recommend time and temperature since I have only made this specific recipe in my slow cooker.
Just wondering how the biscuits brown?
They will lightly brown on top but not the same as if they were in the oven. If you let a little airflow in toward the end of cooking time it will help.
