Greeny's Comfort Crock Pot Mushroom Chicken

Submitted by Greeny4444

"I was in the mood for some sort of stroganoff-y thing, so I went to look through my cookbooks. This actually started out as an attempt for me to make a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes. With each ingredient, I found myself either not having it or substituting it with something else, so at the end, I decided this recipe is actually more of a creation of my own, and it didn't turn out too bad!"

This was excellent. The only thing I would do different is use less thyme next time. thanks for a great recipe

We really enjoyed this! I took the other reviewer's advice and only added a bit less than 1/4 cup of water and it turned out just right. Like Morgain said, the thyme is prominent in this recipe, but for the taste of comfort food, it's all about the thyme baby! Yum! I'll definitely make again, adding in some fresh garlic and fresh onion. Thanks for posting!

This was an interesting recipe, my DH liked it better than I did, there was an overbearing spice flavor to it, the only thing I can think it could have been was the thyme. Being he liked it, I will try it again and cut back on the thyme. Also, will probably will not use any water as I found it quite runny, but I am willing to give it another try.
