Review:
This was one of those days that I had no idea what to make for dinner. I went to my pantry and found a can of cream of mushroom soup and a thing of onion soup. Bingo. It was also one of those dinners that I knew my husband would appreciate a lot (me, not as much). I was thinking of adding some cream cheese or sour cream at the end but the sauce was perfect and I decided not to add anymore calories. This is a great recipe if you’re feeding a crowd and need something super duper easy and fast!
3 1/2 stars.
Hi Karen,
Do you add any water to the cream of mushroom soup?
Thanks! 🙂
nope!
any substitution if you dont like mushrooms or onions? just to have chicken, white kind of gravy and rice?
Tabitha,
Here is a recipe I was looking at the other day that might help you! http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/12/slow-cooker-chicken-and-gravy.html
Hi Karen, I accidentally used too small of a can of mushroom soup, HELP!!!
very excited to eat this though!
Just made this last night for my inlaws. They were coming in town and I wanted a hot meal ready for them when they got to their "Texas" home. I set up the crockpot and left. They absolutely loved it! I changed a few things based on what I had in the pantry & wanting to increase the amount of gravy. I used 8 boneless thighs, 2 packets of lipton mushroom onion soup mix, 2 cans healthy request cream of mushroom soup. I also cooked it on high.
Sara, so glad it worked out for you!!
Just made this tonight, my sisters licked their plates clean and went back for seconds!!!! Tasted amazing!
I'm excited to try this tonight with so many good reviews! The only things I would change is mix the cream of mushroom soup and the onion soup mix first and then pour that on top on the chicken. Also, I didn't have chicken thighs so I'm using boneless chicken breasts.
Good idea, Erica! Hope you liked it 🙂
Trying this today. I added chili powder and Italian seasoning. Fingers crossed!
can I use cream of chicken instead of mushroom soup.
Yes! I think that would work nicely.
This is in my crockpot cooking now! I tweaked it a bit so fingers are crossed! I used a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces. Seasoned chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. I then lightly floured the chicken and slightly browned it in small amount of oil in cast iron skillet. I wisked together the onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup and poured it over chicken in crock pot. We'll know the outcome in a few hours. ��
Well that sounds amazing! I hope you like it.
Can you use boneless chicken breasts?
yep! They cook a bit quicker though.
What happens is the can of cream of mushroom soup is just 10 3/4 ounces and not 13.75 ounces as in the recipe? Add water?
no, don’t worry about it. It should be fine with just the smaller can!
What are the nutritional facts for this meal?
not sure! But you can always plug it into the website to find out! https://www.caloriecount.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php
Can I used frozen breasts? If so, what should I change the cook time to? Can’t wait to try it!
Sure thing. Just add a couple of hours to the cooking time.
Thank you for this recipe. I put a sliced onion on the bottom, 4 frozen thighs (with bones and skin) on top, and then put two cans (10 oz) of cream of mushroom and a packet of dry onion soup mix on top. Finally, I had about a cup of chicken stock that I poured over and put the whole thing on low. I’m hopeful it will be saucy; not soupy. I’m looking forward to this dish!
I’m hoping too! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Making this now….fingers crossed! Thanks for recipe.
Had to google making my own soup mix
But hoping this will be as good
I’m sure it will be great!
Making this for tonight’s supper! Can’t wait! ☺
Just put it in the pot!! 😀
