I have a family favorite to share with you today. It is a very simple dish with just 2 ingredients and seasonings! It is a chicken dump recipe that my child and everyone I have served it to just loves. It creates a beautiful sauce that is ladled over your choice of egg noodle or rice for a hot, filling meal.
If you have an oven bean pot crock, using that is the best way to make this awesome recipe since it needs to be covered through the entire baking period. If you do not, you can try using a an oven safe casserole dish with a lid. Honestly, I have not tried this recipe in a regular slow cooker so I am not sure if it will stand up to the length of cooking but it may. I hope you give it a try.
- Family Size pack of Boneless, Skinless Thighs – do not substitute
- 2 Cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup – Not lowfat or Low Cal
- Garlic Powder
- Pepper
- Salt
- Rice or noodles
- In an oven crockpot aka beanpot, layer cleaned and rinsed chicken thighs evenly around the pot.
- Dump in 2 cans of soup over the top of the meat
- Add 1 tbsp garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- /4 tsp salt and pepper
- Cover with lid and bake at 350 for 3 hours. Do not uncover during cooking
- Serve over prepared rice or egg noodles
*Noteworthy* Do not sub the meat for another cut. Breasts come out with a weird texture. Plus meat with bones is not great in a slow cooked dish like this as it falls apart during cooking. The thighs have the fat needed to break down into a tender chicken dish. Also do not sub the soup for any low cal or healthy choice product. It separates and is not very good. The flavor is in the full fat soup. Also one to try, if you can find it, is the Cream of Mushroom with Garlic. When I can get it I add 1 can of regular and 1 can of the garlic. Very good!

What a hearty meal! YUM! Would be great for leftovers too! Ingredients look awesome and love how easy this recipe is to follow.
Sounds wonderful! As much as I love to cook, there is just no time! So much better to at least put things together in my own kitchen so we can have supper at home. Plus then I have some control over where the food comes from.
I am as old as dirt and have never heard of a bean pot! So you can bet I don’t have one. I might just try this with bone in thighs in the slow cooker and let you know how it turns out! I love recipes like this is the summer when I don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking! Some rice and a salad and yum!
LOL Robin. That is a good idea in the slow cooker. Please do let me know. I may try it myself. I would love to convert it someday so I can make it in the summer w/o heating up the whole house for 3 hours 🙂
I love simple recipes like this one. I am glad that you are so explicit in your directions about not using low fat substitutes. However, I might use the bone-in thighs. I think it adds to the flavor.
I have done something similar but with pork chops, cream of mushroom soup, seasonings and tossed it all into my slow cooker for several hours. Those soup bases do make a great creamy sauce. We then spooned the creamy sauce over some mashed potatoes.
Now that sounds good. I bet it would be tasty with those thick pork chops. I am going to try that next time I buy some chops. Yum!
I promise to do no substituting for your recipe. I would use fresh garlic, ’cause I’m that kind of gal. Sound delicious.
🙂 Just trying to save people time and money, I have tried different cuts of chicken- the thighs are the best. I have tried to sub the soup. It was thin and nasty. And yes I put plenty of garlic in. So good!
I bet the chicken comes out really tender if it cooks 3 hours! Sounds really good to me!
Chicken dump is kind of a funny name, but it sounds yummy.
haha I know. I couldn’t come up with a better name 🙂
maybe you could have a naming contest?
