    The magic of a slow cooker

    My easy slow cooker recipes adventure continues. After my slow cooker chicken soup, which my girls absolutely loves (we and are talking about fussy kids here), now there's a bug favourite of mine: the one and only slow cooker mushroom chicken.

    Served with the creamiest, fluffiest, best mashed potatoes in the world and a finger-licking delicious creamy parmesan mushroom sauce, this mushroom chicken is one dish of a kind.

    It's comforting (great for this miserable January weather), it's a complete meal (carbs, protein, vegetables in one dish & ONE POT), and you need not worry about slaving away for hours in the kitchen.

    How great is that, all you have to do is dump the ingredients in the crock pot (slow cooker), and hours later you have your dinner ready. Another creamy chicken recipe that could be cooked in the slow cooker is Creamy Lemon Chicken.

    Now, depending on how quickly or not you want your creamy mushroom chicken ready, this dish is cooked in about 3 hours on high, and about 5 on slow. What I absolutely love about slow cooking is not only the idea of not having to do much, but also the fact the meat is cooked to perfection.

    This chicken is absolutely delicious, tender, juicy, flavourful. And it's the same brand I buy regularly, yet it's never been as tasty as now when I use the slow cooker.

    All you have to do is add the whole chicken breasts to the slow cooker together with stock, sliced mushrooms, thyme and garlic and cook until the chicken is tender.

    What a sauce this is! One delicious creamy garlic mushroom sauce for all the mushroom lovers out there. I certainly love mushrooms, although good quality mushrooms are not easy to find in supermarkets. Don't you think most of them are tasteless?

    • Once the chicken is cooked, take is out, then add the double cream( WHICH MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, otherwise it curdles), parmesan and cornflour (corn starch) and more garlic, if you wish, and leave to cook for about 5-10 minutes so the sauce can thicken.
    • Return the chicken to the crock pot, and that's it, your perfectly cooked slow cooker mushroom chicken is ready.

    Isn't it easy? Absolutely delicious, minimal prep, a family-favourite recipe any time of the year!

      Where do we add the parmesan etc to make the sauce once the chicken is out the slow cooker? Do we mix it in the slow cooker or in a separate bowl?

        You can mix it in the slow cooker, and leave it to cook for 10-15 minutes longer, then add the chicken back in. Alternatively, you can transfer it to pan and cook it on the stove top, it will take less than a minute for the sauce to thicken and be ready.

      Could you add Stilton instead of parmasan?

        I am not a big fan of stilton, but I am sure that would work.
