A great adddition to my crockpot recipe collection :) I made this with recipe#63812 for the dressing and fresh mushrooms instead of canned. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you are feeling better!

Loved this. I used boneless chicken breasts and fresh mushrooms. I also didn't add the onion. Will make again.

Comfort food at it's best. Delicious, moist meat;(I used thighs & breasts both, but I have to say I'm partial to thighs) and a smooth, tasty gravy. I would say we licked our fingers but then whatever would you think of our manners? :) I served this with my "perfect rice" recipe #133339. Thank you!
