Weight Loss Wednesday: Creamy Portobello Mushroom Chicken

Slow cookers are the best invention since sliced bread. They might even be better than sliced bread when you think about it... It takes just a few minutes to slice bread; but in even less time, you can load ingredients into a slow cooker and have dinner prepared for your whole family. It's almost like magic. 

The Wisconsin Test Kitchen harnessed the magic of their slow cooker this past week and tried a new recipe for Weight Loss Wednesday: Creamy Portobello Mushroom Chicken. It was easy to make (only 3 ingredients); everyone cleared their plates, and there was enough for leftovers. WIN!!! And at 355 calories per serving? That's a weight loss win too!

Creamy Portobello Mushroom Chicken

2lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 can cream of chicken soup
8oz. portobello mushroom slices, fresh
salt & pepper to season

Place chicken thighs in the slow cooker, top with mushrooms and soup. 

Bake on low for 6 hours, or high for 4 hours. 
We served ours over rice (not included in the calorie count); and with a green salad. It was a filling dinner that didn't feel "diet friendly".
