Creamy Artichoke and Mushroom Chicken is a wonderful recipe to try in the slow cooker, serve or rice or noodles.
This recipe has plenty of cream cheese in it just like my crack chicken recipe!
This is a recipe I had to recreate after Marie Callender’s Artichoke Mushroom Chicken. I worked at Marie Callender’s for years and this dish was one of my favorites. The restaurant served this over rice and veggies on the side. Is it still on the menu for those of you that are near one?
How to make Artichoke Mushroom Chicken:
- Chicken Breasts – Boneless skinless
- Dried Basil – LOTS of this is the key to this dish
- Salt and Pepper
- Garlic

- Onion
- Chicken Broth
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle over the basil, salt and pepper.

- Cook on LOW for 7 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Shred the chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker.

Can I use white wine instead of chicken broth?
Yes, use 1 cup of your favorite white wine instead of chicken broth in this recipe.
