Submitted by Terry Dallas
Dump-and-go crockpot chicken smothered in creamy mushroom-celery sauce with a hint of sherry. Set it in the morning, come home to fork-tender chicken and a house that smells incredible.

8 hrsThis is the slow cooker recipe your mom probably made in the 80s, and there’s a reason it never went out of style.
Chicken breasts swim all day in a luscious sauce made from cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, and a splash of dry sherry that adds just enough sophistication.
The Parmesan on top melts into the sauce and creates these little savory pockets of cheesy goodness.
Come home after a long day, and the whole house smells like Sunday dinner. Spoon it over fluffy rice, and you’ve got comfort food that practically made itself.
Pro Tips
- Use dry sherry, not cooking sherry. Cooking sherry has added salt and a tinny flavor. A decent bottle costs about the same and tastes worlds better.
- Don’t lift the lid during cooking. Every peek lets heat escape and adds 15-20 minutes to the cook time.
- Thaw chicken completely before adding to the slow cooker. Frozen chicken won’t cook evenly and can stay in the danger zone too long.
- Shred it at the end for a different texture. The chicken will be so tender it falls apart with two forks, and the shredded meat absorbs even more of that creamy sauce.
- Make extra sauce by adding another half-can of each soup. It’s all about that gravy when you’re serving over rice.
