This Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Dinner (or creamy chicken goodness as we call it!) is our go-to dinner when there’s just no time to make anything. Start it in the morning and it’s ready by 5pm.

My easy creamy chicken dinner is seriously, one of my family’s favorite meals. My husband coined the name, “Creamy Chicken Goodness” nearly 15 years ago because I threw a bunch of stuff together and had no idea what to call it. While it doesn’t photograph pretty, I promise what it lacks in looks, makes up for on the taste buds.

Watch Me Make It!

Here’s the link to my Easy Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Dinner on my YouTube Channel!

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Dinner – Fast or Fancy?

There’s basically two ways of making this yummy dinner. The first way is the fast way where you don’t include the sauteed mushrooms. The second way, is including the fresh mushrooms and herbs. I’ve made it both ways several times and both are equally delicious! Although I will say, the addition of fresh mushrooms and herbs really does bring some freshness and earthiness to this meal.

To make clean-up even faster, definitely try these disposable slow cooker liners for your crock pot. They come in so handy at the end of the night when you’re just dreading clean-up and then realize, “Nope! I’ve got in a liner, i’m good to go!” They are seriously the best.

For Yourself or for a Crowd

You could easily make this slow cooker creamy chicken dinner into a meal for a crowd! Add a couple more breasts, another can of cream of mushroom (or cream of chicken! Use what you like or have on hand!) and add another package of egg noodles to your water, and boom! Dinner for 10. Also, make this meal yours. If you don’t want pasta, make some mashed potatoes or rice. I personally just like pasta since it comes together super fast.
