FAQ

Can I use canned mushrooms instead of fresh?

Yes, you can. Fresh mushrooms give more flavor, but canned mushrooms work well if you want convenience.

Can I make this recipe without cream?

Absolutely. You can use coconut milk, evaporated milk, or a dairy-free alternative. The sauce will still be creamy and delicious.

How long should I cook the chicken in the slow cooker?

Usually 6–7 hours on low or 3–4 hours on high, depending on your slow cooker.

Should I brown the chicken first?

You don’t have to. Browning adds extra flavor, but the recipe tastes great even if you skip that step.

Can I add vegetables to this recipe?

Yes! Spinach, peas, carrots, broccoli, or green beans all work beautifully with the creamy mushroom sauce.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Definitely. Chicken thighs stay very tender and add richer flavor to the dish.

How do I thicken the sauce?

Stir in a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) during the last 15 minutes, or let the sauce reduce with the lid off.
