*Not a fan of canned soups and packaged dry onion soup mixes? I share links below to easy recipes to make your own homemade condensed soups and dry onion soup mix.
To make: spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in a single layer and season with pepper. In a bowl, add condensed soups, onion soup mix, mushrooms and water, mix well. Pour mixture evenly over chicken and cover. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours. Be sure to adjust cooking time according to how fast/slow your cooker cooks.
When ready, shred chicken using two forks. Serve chicken with the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles. Enjoy!

Rice, Noodles or Mashed Potatoes, what do people use or find tastes the best?
Chantal

Julie
How can this be converted to a regular cooking method, ie not slow cooker
Terry
I made this recipe last week in my slow cooker…it was a HUGE hit! Thanks for sharing.
Tina
This was so delicious! My husband loved it. I did not shred the chicken. We each had a chicken breast. Also, to cut carbs I made zoodles. Will be keeping this in the lineup for dinner. Thank you.
Amanda
I was wondering when I was reading it if you could leave the chicken un shredded. Glad to see someone else tried it.
APeacock
We converted to instant pot and it was really good served over egg noodles.
Heather
I want to make this on the IP. How long did you do? Thx
Susan
I’d love to know too about the IP!
Lee-Anna
Could I substitute broccoli in place of the mushrooms? Would you know when I should put them in? I was thinking maybe the last 30 mins? Or just stream separately…. thoughts?
Jessica
I am making it now and I didn’t even use the mushrooms and I think it will be fine but yea I would put it in the last 30 min but cook it before you add it in
Alicia
Can you use frozen chicken? I’ve made this multiple times with thawed out chicken but I forgot to thaw them out today and they’re still partially frozen 😬
Marissa
Did you try it? I’m wondering the same thing and can’t find an answer. Was hoping maybe you tried it!
Tonya
Yes just takes a little longer to cook.
Wanda
Do I have to use mushrooms in the recipe or can I just omit them? We are not huge mushroom fans
Amy
Do you think the beefy onion soup mix will work? That’s all I have on hand. Or will it not be good since it’s chicken and not beef.
Robert Buholzer
could you add gravy mix instead of onion mix?the recipe sounds good
Melissa
Can you use frozen chicken breasts?
Becca
Can’t you cook the egg noodles in the crockpot?
Steph
Why would you? takes egg noodles less than 5 mins to cook and wont take away the moisture in the crock pop needed for cooking the main dish.
Sheila Hunley
For persons that have made this dish, how many does it serve? I wish the recipes listed the serving size.
Mary Neumann
This makes approximately six servings served over mashed potatoes, rice or eggs noodles. We had leftovers with our family of four.
