Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 4–6 quart slow cooker.
- Top with mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Pour in chicken broth and Worcestershire. Sprinkle with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cover and cook on Low 6–7 hours or High 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and reaches 165°F/74°C.
- Transfer chicken to a board and shred with two forks; return to the slow cooker and stir.
- Whisk cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on High 15–20 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Turn off heat. Stir in sour cream until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- For extra depth of flavor, sauté the onions and mushrooms before adding them to the crockpot.
- You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for even richer, juicier results.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, reduce the cornstarch slurry slightly.
