Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds - chicken breast filets skinless
- 2 tablespoons - cooking oil (I used canola)
- 16 ounces - crimini mushrooms sliced
- 1 - yellow onion thinly sliced into rings
- 2 cloves - garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoons - black pepper
- - kosher or sea salt to taste
- 1/4 cups - fresh flat leaf parsley chopped
- 1 1/2 cups - chicken broth, low-sodium, fat-free
- 2 tablespoons - cornstarch
- - cooked rice, pasta or quinoa optional, for serving with
Directions:
Add oil to a skillet (or slow cooker if using a Stovetop Slow Cooker); turn to medium-high heat and sear chicken on both sides just until brown. Remove and place on a paper towel. Reduce heat to medium-low; add onion to the same skillet, and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. (Optional: add 1/4 cup broth to skillet with onions to deglaze the pan and pick up all the bits on bottom of pan from the chicken; add to slow cooker with onions).
Add chicken, onion and remaining ingredients to the slow cooker (placing mushrooms, onion and garlic on top of chicken); cover and cook on low heat for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours or until chicken is done and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove chicken from slow cooker and set aside. Add cornstarch to slow cooker and whisk until smooth. Return chicken to slow cooker and continue cooking until gravy is thick, about 15 minutes.
Serve over rice, pasta or quinoa, as desired.
