Easy 4 hour crockpot chicken recipe. All you need is chicken, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix and water.
Easy Chicken in the Crockpot Recipe
This is such a quick and easy chicken breast recipe because all you need to do is drop the ingredients into the crockpot, turn it on and 4 hours later – it’s ready for you! The chicken is moist, delicious and covered in a cream of mushroom gravy!
And because this recipe is so quick, I’m going to dive straight into the recipe and not talk your ear off. 🙂
Crockpot Chicken and Mushroom Soup Ingredients
Here’s everything you need to make this chicken recipe.
- Chicken Breast – Make sure it’s skinless and boneless. You can use anywhere between 1-2 pounds.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup – You’ll need 2 cans, or if you’d like try making homemade cream of mushroom soup (it’s really easy!).
- Dry Onion Soup Mix – I always have one of these boxes in my cabinet, especially in the Fall/Winter when we’re often using our slow cooker.
Want to make your own? Mix together 1/4 cup dried onion flakes, 2 tablespoons beef bouillon powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/8 teaspoon celery seed, 1/8 teaspoon paprika and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. - Water – Use water or you can also use chicken broth if you want to.
How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken
Add chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
Mix mushroom soup, soup mix and water together in a bowl.
Pour this mixture into the slow cooker on top of the chicken.
Cook and serve! So easy, right?
I hope you enjoy this crockpot chicken meal for dinner!
Gravy for Chicken
This slow cooker meal makes plenty of extra gravy to add to the chicken and to the mashed potatoes on the side. There’s no need to make any extra gravy for this meal, so you get to skip a step here!
What to Serve With Mushroom Chicken?
Serve with easy mashed potatoes, crockpot baked potatoes, mashed cauliflower or scalloped potatoes and your favorite vegetables, we love broccoli, corn and slow cooker mushrooms.
You can also shred up the chicken and serve on top of rice for a simple chicken and rice meal!

Are you using the whole box of 2 packets of onion soup mix, or just one of the 2 packets?
Cara Dubay says
Can I use onion dip mix instead of onion soup mix?

I’ve never tried it, but if you have these ingredients on hand you can make your own dry onion soup mix! Mix together 1/4 cup dried onion flakes, 2 tablespoons beef bouillon powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/8 teaspoon celery seed, 1/8 teaspoon paprika and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Hope this helps!

If your cooking it for 4 hours, you’ll need to cook it on high.

I have 2 1/4 lbs of chicken breast. Can I substitute chicken broth for water? Can I use 2 packets of onion soup mix for added flavor, or does it not matter?
