Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
2. Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Layer the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic over the chicken.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, soy sauce, thyme, and paprika. Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
