Easy Cheesy Slow Cooker Chicken
Sounds good! I need to try this. I cannot stress the importance of making the shortcuts for the soups. On my to make list. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 can condensed Cheddar cheese soup, OR make from a shortcut
- salt and pepper, to taste
- spring onions, sliced, white and green parts, for garnish
- cooked rice or pasta
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken salt and pepper and place in your slow cooker.
- Mix the soups together and pour over the chicken. For cheesier sauce, use 2 cans of cheese soup and 1 can of chicken soup.
- Cover and cook on Low setting for 6 to 8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. If in doubt, use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temp of 74 C.
- Serve over hot rice or pasta, sprinkle sliced spring onion on top for garnish and add color.
Notes
Chicken breasts run about 100 Baht/kilo, that should be about 6 breasts. The soup per can is on average 52 Baht, 3 cans would be 156 Baht, if you make these using the shortcuts, the cost is 21 Baht per can, making the soup cost about 63 Baht, plus a bit more for the chicken and cheese needed, so I will say 75 Baht for the soup made from shortcuts. For 6 servings this works out to about $1.25 per serving if using canned soup. If using soups made from the shortcuts, for 6 servings, this comes out to about 86 cents per serving.
Shortcuts: Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup, Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup.

If using canned soups, this is probably one of the simplest things to make. Sounds heavenly though 😉
I would definitely go for the cheesier option 😉
Canned soup is mostly water with fillers and flavorings, to make the soup takes just 5 minutes and is nearly all evaporated milk.
