Crockpot Chicken, Mushroom & Spinach (over rice) - Creamy and flavorful, this dish comes together easily with the use of a slow cooker/crock pot.
Last year I had one of those Tastefully Simple parties and one of the things I was "sampling" was some sort of crockpot chicken artichoke mixture. If you're not familiar, you just put chicken in a crockpot with a package of their seasonings and maybe a few other things, (I really don't remember exactly) and presto, in a few hours you have dinner. I do remember liking it and while I couldn't remember the specifics of it, I decided to give it a homemade makeover!
I must admit, this is NOT pretty to look at is it? I even served it to my husband with a cautionary warning that if it was gross, we could always order Chinese! To my surprise, (and secretly, my dismay because I was ireally n the mood for Chinese) it was delicious. So good in fact, that I ate the leftovers the next day (and gave some to my husband's friend)! If you follow me, you know I don't eat leftovers (unless I magically re-purpose them)!

Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ C white wine
- ¾ C vegetable stock/broth or chicken
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.75 oz

Instructions
- Spray crockpot with non stick spray, or line it with a plastic liner.

These pictures below are the pictures I took the very first time I made this Crockpot Chicken, Mushroom & Spinach (over rice). I've since made it a few times but it gets gobbled up so quickly, I never get the chance to take photos. Today, I finally was able to update the photos. Still not great because I had to be quick but better than below, right?

Thanks! I love them in the winter too but also like them in a pinch for busy summer days too; not having to turn on the oven is key!

I love how crockpot makes life easier. Last week, I made vegetable biryani in it. All I had to do was put ingredients in it and go to work. It was ready by the time I got home. Your recipe is delicious and healthy looking. Great recipe.

Can you add celery to this?
foodyschmoody says
Hmmm, good question. I have never tried it with celery so I can't say either way. But you know, I'm not a rule follower and if you like celery, I'd say add it. Let me know how it comes out!
