Why do You Need to Make Cream of Mushroom Soup Chicken Dinner in a CrockPot?

Cooking dinner for a family can be challenging and time-consuming, especially for working parents with limited time in the evenings. However, using a slow cooker or Crockpot can make dinner much easier and less stressful.

First and foremost, making this recipe in your Crockpot is incredibly convenient. You can prepare the ingredients in the morning or the night before, and simply set the slow cooker to low heat for the day.

This means that you don’t have to worry about cooking dinner when you get home from work, as the Crockpot has already done the work for you. The result is a hot, delicious, and nutritious meal that is ready when you are, freeing up your time and energy to spend with your family.

So while you can make this recipe on the stove in a large skillet I recommend you take 15 minutes before bed or 15 minutes before you start work to assemble this recipe.

How to Make the Recipe on the Stove

Instead of cooking the chicken breast whole, cut it into bite-size pieces. In a large skillet add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and brown the chicken pieces. Remove to a plate and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the onions and garlic. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour 1 cup of water and 2 chicken and gravy packets. When hot and bubbly add the chicken back into the skillet and cook for 15 minutes on low.

As you can see it is so much easier to just add all the ingredients to your slow cooker or CrockPot and set it and forget it.
