Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 6 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed (7 ounces each)
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients; rub over chicken. Place in a 6-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the soup, sour cream and wine; stir in mushrooms. Pour over chicken.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until meat is tender; remove chicken and keep warm. In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Return chicken to slow cooker, cook until sauce is thickened, about 15-20 minutes longer. If desired, sprinkle with parsley and additional paprika and pepper just before serving.
