Introduction

The original recipe contained converted rice, so I eliminated it and added fresh sliced mushrooms. Instead of White Wine I used a Cooking Marsala to give the dish a bit more depth. I found the Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe online, which has no flour and can be made a day or two ahead. It's a great dinner for busy days, and with 14 net carbs for a generous adult serving, it makes a great choice for those of us who are watching our sugars and starches.

Ingredients

    1c. Marsala cooking wine

    2 8oz. packages sliced mushrooms

    10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs


    Homemade Dry Onion Soup Mix (can substitute for 1 3oz. envelope commercial mix):

    4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
    8 teaspoons dried onion flakes
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper


    Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup
    (makes about 2.5 cups. I use it in place of 2 10 3/4 oz. cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup.)

    24 small mushrooms, chopped, 9 ounces
    3 stalks celery, chopped
    6 tablespoons onion, chopped, about 3 ounces
    1 1/2 cups chicken broth
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    Salt and pepper, to taste

    To use this in a recipe in place of a commercially condensed soup, I simply put the all but the cream in my food processor until "soupy" and then stir the cream in with a wire or plastic wisk in a bowl. It doesn't need to be pre-cooked since it's going into a dish as an ingredient and the dish will be cooked. Place in airtight container and use within a few days.
    Makes about 2 1/2 cups
    Do not freeze


Directions

(You may prepare the mushroom soup a day or two beforehand.)
Place chicken pieces in the bottom of Crock Pot. Mix mushroom soup, wine, and onion soup mix, then add sliced mushrooms. Pour mixture over chicken. Cook undisturbed for about 6 hours on Low. Turn to High and vent lid to reduce to preferred consistency (I let the meal reduce for about 1 hour. Serve with steamed green beans, broccoli, or preferred vegetable.

Serving Size: Makes 4 generous servings about two cups each.

    I was excited until I read the part about adding the cheese, which is nowhere in the ingredients list, so there is no amount & that means it hasn't been factored into the nutritional information :/ - 7/22/11

    Sorry about that. I've been tweaking it over the past week and need edit further. I made the recipe as last night without the cheese (1/4 c. Kraft 3 Cheese Blend) and my husband liked it better without, which isn't something I usually hear.
