Greeny's Comfort Crock Pot Mushroom Chicken
"I was in the mood for some sort of stroganoff-y thing, so I went to look through my cookbooks. This actually started out as an attempt for me to make a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes. With each ingredient, I found myself either not having it or substituting it with something else, so at the end, I decided this recipe is actually more of a creation of my own, and it didn't turn out too bad!"

This was excellent. The only thing I would do different is use less thyme next time. thanks for a great recipe -
Yes! This is really good and I love the addition of peas. Yum! Thanks for sharing with us. -
We really enjoyed this! I took the other reviewer's advice and only added a bit less than 1/4 cup of water and it turned out just right. Like Morgain said, the thyme is prominent in this recipe, but for the taste of comfort food, it's all about the thyme baby! Yum! I'll definitely make again, adding in some fresh garlic and fresh onion. Thanks for posting! -
This was an interesting recipe, my DH liked it better than I did, there was an overbearing spice flavor to it, the only thing I can think it could have been was the thyme. Being he liked it, I will try it again and cut back on the thyme. Also, will probably will not use any water as I found it quite runny, but I am willing to give it another try.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
