This was so EASY and tasted perfect. I doubled the recipe and froze the left over. This is a keeper and I will make this more often. It is very rich and filling.

My whole family enjoyed this one. I am going to try adding the roasted red peppers as suggested. I think the added zip would be great. Very easy. I also leave off the mushrooms.

This was very, very good. I cut up the chicken in bite size pieces and used penne noodles and mixed it all together in the slow cooker. It was excellent!

This was great I added a jar of roasted italian red peppers. Added a little zip and some lively color.

We used this recipe for a banquet at our congregation. There were so many compliments on how tender the chicken was and a lot of requests for the recipe. Excellent and so easy.

I made this last night and it was good! My two year old twins devoured it and they don't eat much. This recipe is a winner just for that fact. All the kids did like it so it is a family friendly meal. I served this over noodles. I did use fat free cream cheese with 98% fat free cream of chicken soup. I don't know if this changed the flavor or texture from the original recipe but we like it enough that we will be making this again. Thanks.

This is one of my family's favorite dinners and I love the ease of using my slow cooker. I omit the mushrooms because my family doesn't like them. The chicken always turns out creamy and tender. Great recipe!

This is really delicious. The chicken is moist and flavorful. I usually serve it with noodles.
