Creamy Mushroom Chicken Crock Pot recipe?

Question

Here are the directions/ingredients I have for a creamy mushroom chicken crock pot meal.

2-3 lbs chicken parts, skin removed
4 oz can mushrooms
2 10-oz cans cream of mushroom soup
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 cup chicken broth

Place chicken in slow cooker. In bowl, combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken pieces. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Now I have put everything in (I used boneless skinless chicken breast) and there's about an hour left for it to cook, but it's very watery. Is there anything I can do to it to make it less watery or to serve it over?

Answer 1

Crock pot cooking is usually watery (er) than regular cooking. If you would put that in the oven it would still be watery.

I would make it into a gravy. It would make a really tasty gravy.

Take it out of the crock pot and place into a pot. Bring to a boil and add a flour/water mixture ( about 3 Tbsp flour to 1 cup water, whisked together) whisk until thickened. About 3-5 min.

You could serve it with a hot buttered pasta (long noodles like spaghetti, fettuchini, or linguine) mashed potatoes or rice. I think that would be really tasty.

Round it out with a salad or steamed veggie and you are good to go! Hope this helps.

Next time you could try not adding the liquid and it won't be so juicy. I think it would still taste really yummy!

Answer 2

Add a little corn starch mixed with cold water to thicken. Leave the lid off for a while (1/2 hour to hour) and it will thicken a little. Some of the liquid will evaporate.

Answer 3

If it doesn't thicken as it cooks and stands, then you can either add a little flour (really, a little at a time) or make some herbed rice or rice pilaf to serve it over or even really good "sticky" rice.
Sounds good though!

Answer 4

take the lid off, to let steam evaporate, turn heat up to HIGH
