  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (for thickening, optional)

For Serving (Optional):

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken & Veggies:

    • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
    • Add baby carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.

  2. Slow Cook:

    • Place the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables.
    • In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and butter. Pour over the chicken.
    • Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender.

  3. Make It Creamy:

    • Remove the chicken and shred or leave whole.
    • Stir in heavy cream, sour cream, and cheddar cheese (if using).
    • If a thicker sauce is desired, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the slow cooker. Let cook for 10-15 more minutes.

  4. Serve & Enjoy:

    • Spoon the creamy chicken and veggies over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Swap cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom or a homemade sauce for a fresh touch.

Add frozen peas or green beans in the last 30 minutes for extra veggies.

For a low-carb version, replace potatoes with cauliflower.

Use turkey or pork instead of chicken for variety.
