Gluten-Free Creamy Chicken Thighs Slow Cooker Recipe

No Comments

This Creamy Chicken meal is our family’s favorite go to recipe.

It’s so easy to make and everyone loves it, and I do mean everyone! I’ve even had people over with picky eaters who will devour this meal. It’s one of those home cooked, feel good, meals. This is also a GREAT Sunday lunch meal! It’s so easy to prep for in the morning and it’s ready when you get home from church! Take it from me, you won’t regret making this meal! With the prices of groceries these days, it’s hard to want to branch out and try new things. The fear of having to throw it out is real! I know first hand what that’s like and it’s so upsetting. If you’re eating gluten free, you know how expensive it is.

So trust me on this one and don’t throw your money away!

I promise I won’t hang you up with a huge backstory to the meal and all that blah, blah, blah… I just have a few little things to add before you get to the recipe.

First off this recipe can also be made with chicken breasts, my family just prefers thighs especially in the crockpot.

I have made this meal with frozen chicken and you do not need to thaw it out before hand. It just cooks a little longer.

I use to use 3 cans of cream of chicken. One day I was short a can so I just threw in a can of cream of mushroom. Either way is fine and still tastes just as good. You can’t always find gluten free cream of chicken soup on the stores. I mostly order it from amazon. You can use my associates link here https://amzn.to/4cWroHM to make it easier.

For the chicken broth, I just pour it into the cream of chicken cans to get the rest of the soup out. No need to dirty up a measuring cup!

For smaller batches of this meal, it’s simply… 1 cream cheese, 1 cream of chicken soup, 1 Italian dressing mix, 1 to 2 lbs of chicken, 1 can of chicken broth, and a little Slap Ya Mama (your preferred gluten-free seasoned salt). The only reason I use 2 cream cheeses in the larger meal and not 3 is because it was a little too rich when I tried it that way. So now I just triple everything but the cream cheese.

Mixing the cream cheese and soup can be difficult if you don’t have the cream cheese soft enough. I would recommend making sure this process is done correctly or you will have clumps of cream cheese in every bite.

After 2 hours the chicken should be tender enough to pull out and shred.

I have a rice cooker, so I typically just prep and start it once the food has about 45 minutes left.

Here is a link to my rice cooker… It is one of my favorite purchases of all time. https://amzn.to/3XKt0A5

Here is my crock pot as well. https://amzn.to/3XoRE7R

That’s all it takes! Enjoy with the family!

This recipe is honestly so easy to make, it doesn’t require a whole lot of your time, and it’s so good!

I really hope your family enjoys it, I know mine sure does!

Ingredients

Steps

1

Start by softening the cream cheese and cream of chicken soup. I do this by putting them in the crock pot on high for about 30 minutes.

2

Next, you will stir it up to the best of your ability, breaking up any clumps of cream cheese you can.

3

Once it seems pretty blended you’ll add your Italian dressing mix and Slap Ya Mama seasoning. We like a little more heat to our food and I don’t measure the Slap Ya Mama season. My best guess is I probably put about 2 to 3 TBSP.

4

Once it’s all mixed together you’ll add your chicken thighs (make sure to cover them with the sauce to help them cook) and cook on high for about 4 hours depending on how thick your chicken is. At 2 hours take your chicken out to shred it, then place it back in the crock put to finish cooking!

5

Once it’s all done you’ll just serve it over rice and enjoy!
