Instructions
You can use either chicken breast or thighs for this dish. The chicken thighs will cook quicker because they are smaller and you may want to make it 3 lbs of thighs if you are feeding people that like a lot of meat. The chicken breast works well too but will take longer than thighs depending on how thick they are. Place your chicken in the slow cooker. In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, and basil. Sprinkle it evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the chicken. Layer the artichokes, mushrooms, and onion on top of the chicken. Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker. Place the cream cheese on top. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 7 hours. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with 2 forks. Whisk the cream cheese into the mixture until all lumps are removed and it's creamy. Add back in the chicken and stir well until combined. This goes great served over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles with your favorite vegetable as a side.
