Helpful tips & variations before starting
- Thickening the sauce should not be a problem because of the starches in the cream of mushroom soup. But, if you’d like to thicken the soup more, you’ll want to add a cornstarch slurry to the crockpot. You’ll need to add cooking time after you add this in order for the sauce to thicken.
- Using different cuts of chicken will not change the recipe. Use thighs or drumsticks and the results will be the same.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can you used canned mushrooms?
Yes, that will not be an issue in the recipe.
Should the liquid cover the chicken in the crockpot?
It doesn’t have to submerge the chicken. But, a good rule of thumb with crockpot meat is the liquid should cover at least half. The lid is on the slow cooker so moisture won’t be an issue with the exposed areas.
