What do you need?
- Chicken breast, boneless skinless – you could substitute chicken thighs if you prefer.
- Cream of mushroom soup – you can use low-sodium or gluten-free versions if preferred.
- Chicken soup – you can substitute with an additional can of cream of mushroom soup for a richer mushroom flavour.
- Seaonings – I use a simple seasoning mix of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and a little chili powder. You can adjust the seasonings if you wish, add a little less or more chili powder to adjust the heat to your preference.
- A slow cooker, crockpot, or multicooker with a slow cook setting.
