Easy crockpot chicken with mushroom white wine sauce

3 chicken breast halves, cubed (about 1.5 lbs or so -- I used frozen Tyson breasts but thawed them before putting them into the crockpot)
1 container fresh sliced mushrooms (about 1.5 cups)
1/2 cup carrot strings
1 medium sweet onion, diced
1 can cream of mushroom soup (I used campbell's healthy request version)
1 can cream of chicken soup (same here)
1/2 cup white wine
2 tbsp milk
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp black pepper

Add everything to the crockpot and cook (3-4 hours?) until chicken is done and veggies are soft. Serve mixture over biscuits with a side of something green.




Yellow rice with spice

1 cup texmati basmati rice
1 3/4 cup water
1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp kosher salt

Pour rice, veggies and water into pot, bring to a boil. Add spices and stir once, then cover tightly with foil and reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes, turn off heat and let stand covered for another 5 minutes. Serve.

I'm going to make that chicken.

cool! Let me know how it turns out. Feel free to add more or less of any ingredient up there. For example, I think my mushrooms were closer to 2 cups -- it was whatever is in the usual standard sized pack of the pre-sliced kind.

Did the Crockpot Manufacturers Association send you after me? If so, I think they've finally convinced me to get a crockpot, because that chicken dish sounds damn good!

Is the texmati a white or brown basmati?

[eve11]

lol, as far as I know I'm not a denizen of the CMA. But they are also very sneaky, as long as their plans can consist of dumping all of their materials out onto a table and letting them sit there until something good comes out of it.

Texmati is white basmati. It's a brand I get. They are the ones in the quart-sized plastic containers with blue lids. Also they have green-lidded ones that are called Jasmati (jasmine). I always get a perfect pot when I follow their directions on the back of their packages, hence my repetition of them here. But I don't know if their methods will work the same on another brand, so I just kept it to Texmati. :)

Oh, that chicken looks great. I love the crockpot because it's so effortless, and I love meals where most of it is one dish. Thanks! :)

[eve11]

you're very welcome :) I do like crockpots. It's nice to throw something in there at the start of the day and come home to it being done. As long as the house doesn't burn down...

The chicken is turning out well despite the fact that I put far, far too much garlic powder in [I wasnt thinking and just threw some in -- possibly closer to a tablespoon]. It tastes good [the chicken that I had in the house was already cooked -- so I'm not gonna die or anything], but the musrooms need to get mushier. I was surprised at how much liquid the carrots and the mushrooms have produced in a couple of hours.

I also used more carrots than suggested -- probably about a cup and a half.

But it smells yummilicious.

all of my spicing there is approximate. I just shook a bit of garlic powder over it and stirred. It wasn't much, but then, I'm not a big garlic fan. And yeah, mushrooms have quite a bit of water in them, as well as the onions, that will make it more like a gravy. The chicken too, if it cooks in with the veggies, will also add some juice.

I left out the onions because I was too lazy to chop them up. *totally lazy* But the extra mushrooms and carrots are liquidy. :)

It's gonna make good lunches for the rest of the week.

I can vouch for the chicken. Yummmmmmy!
