What ingredients do I need to make this recipe?
This recipe is easy peasy. You will need:
- Chicken thighs: You’ll want to use boneless and skinless chicken thighs. You can also use chicken breast, if desired although I find that chicken thighs have more flavor and don’t dry out as much as chicken breast in the crockpot.
- Cream of chicken soup: You’ll need two cans. They should be about 10.5 ounces each.
- Yellow onion: For this recipe, you’ll need one large yellow onion.
- Onion soup mix: To season the gravy.
- Fresh mushrooms: You’ll need 8 ounces of fresh sliced mushrooms.
- Salt and pepper to taste: Note that the cream of chicken and soup mix can be quite salty so you may want to use more pepper than salt or skip the salt entirely.
What to serve with this recipe
These smothered chicken thighs go great with mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles. Green beans, steamed carrots, and fresh yeast rolls also go great and will complete the meal. I’ve also served these with cauliflower mash before to save on calories.
Tips for this recipe
- I recommend salt and pepper to taste. The canned cream of chicken and soup mix usually contain a lot of sodium so you may want to go easy on the salt.
- Stir everything well before cooking.

You state mix week. Do you mix everything together including the chicken thighs? Or do you mix the the soup and soup mix on top of the chicken and not mixing the onions and mushrooms??

You can mix it in the crockpot or mix everything separately then pour it over the chicken. Whatever is easiest for you.
