If there’s two things we love in this house, it’s comfort food and easy dinners. That’s why we’re crazy about this chicken and mushrooms recipe. It has a tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a slightly sweet yet savory sauce. Put everything together into the slow cooker and just wait for a wonderfully delicious aroma to fill the kitchen.
We love the combination of herbs with the balsamic and brown sugar mixture. As wonderful as this is on its own, we often serve this with rice or pasta for a little more substance. And did we mention how delicious it smells?! Such a wonderful way to end the day…a slow cooked meal that was easy to prepare and even easier to eat. We love finding dinners that everyone loves, and we’re pretty sure this one is a winner.
