    🤔 FAQs

    These are some questions asked about making Crockpot Angel Chicken with Mushrooms.

    Can you just put raw chicken in a slow cooker?

    Yes, you can put raw chicken in the slow cooker. However, I like to brown it first for some additional flavor.

    How many hours do you cook chicken in a crock pot?

    Chicken needs to be cooked for 4 to 6 hours in the slow cooker on low. Or 2 to 4 hours on high.

    Should my chicken be covered in liquid in a slow cooker?

    Yes, I find cooking the chicken in liquid helps to keep the chicken breast moist in the slow cooker.

    Can you overcook pulled chicken in a slow cooker?

    Yes, it is possible to overcook chicken in a slow cooker. I don't recommend cooking it for longer than 8 hours.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

    • Spray the slow cooker well with cooking spray for easy clean up or use a slow cooker liner.
    • If you don't have golden mushroom soup on hand you can use cream of mushroom soup.
    • Trim the fat off the chicken breasts before you add them to the slow cooker for best results.
    • Serve this dish with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. If you are low carb you could also eat it just as it is.
    • This recipe is best made with fresh mushrooms. Shiitake and white button mushrooms can be found at most grocery stores. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can substitute with canned mushrooms. Just make sure to drain them well before adding them to the slow cooker.

    📚 Variations

    • Add more vegetables to this dish to make this an all in one meal. You can add zucchini, carrots or even bell peppers when you add the mushrooms.
    • For additional flavor you can season your chicken breasts with salt and black pepper before you brown them.
    • Add some spice to this recipe by adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
    • Use Ranch seasoning mix instead of the Italian seasoning mix.
    • If you can't find cream cheese with chives and onions, you can use plain cream cheese and mix in some onion soup mix to your soup mixture.

    🥫 Storage

    You can store Golden Mushroom Angel Chicken in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container.

    Reheat the dinner or leftovers in the microwave or on the stove top.

    On the stove top: place chicken and sauce in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.

    In the microwave: place chicken and sauce in a microwave safe dish. Heat on high for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.

    📞 Chiacchierata (chat)

    I love crockpot meals like this Angel Chicken recipe. There is nothing more satisfying than adding the ingredients to the slow cooker and then coming back to a hearty and comforting meal while you were busy doing other things around the house.

    We like using angel hair pasta with a creamy sauce like this squisito (delicious) mushroom sauce. Capellini is similar to angel hair, although it is a bit bigger in diameter, and it makes a good substitute.
