INGREDIENTS
•
3 - 4 pounds chicken (I used frozen breast tenderloins)
•
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
•
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
•
1 tablespoon onion powder
•
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar (weird, I know.)
•
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
•
1 teaspoon kosher salt (if you only have table salt, use about 1/4 teaspoon)
•
2 cloves minced garlic
•
Put 2 tablespoons salted butter in a large skillet.
•
Brown 16 ounces sliced mushrooms for a VERY LONG time on medium heat. (longer than you think --- a good 20 minutes or so, you want them to shrink in half and get nice and brown.
•
Add a few twists of ground pepper. Then add to crockpot -- juice from pan and all.
•
1 thawed block of cream cheese (to add later)
