Slow Cooker Anyday: Parma Rosa Crockpot Chicken

2011 June 10
by Emily Hill

I used to buy the packet of Knorr parma rosa pasta sauce mix all the time. It was a family favorite, especially when I threw in some diced southwestern chicken strips (the pre-cooked grilled chicken strips from Tyson you find alongside the pre-packaged deli meats). I haven’t made that pasta dish in a while, but I’m dying to try this slow cooker recipe using the same favorite sauce mix. It sounds super easy and delicious, plus anything with a little white wine is always extra tasty!

Parma Rosa Crockpot Chicken
4 chicken breasts*
1 (8-oz.) container sour cream
1 (10-oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup white wine
1 (14-oz) can diced tomatoes
1 package sliced mushrooms (optional)**
1 package Knorr parma rosa creamy tomato sauce mix

Put first 4 ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook for 7 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high. Add diced tomatoes and mushrooms 1 hour before serving. Serve over penne pasta, farfalle or your favorite pasta noodles. Throw in a Caesar salad and a side of garlic bread for a complete meal!

* You could easily use frozen boneless chicken breasts in this recipe. Just cook on high for 6 to 8 hours, adding the diced tomatoes and mushrooms 1 hour before serving.

** The mushrooms are totally optional because I threw that in there off the top of my head; they were not in the original recipe, which was already altered to include the white wine and tomatoes. Good times!

    Looks yummy. So, if you don’t want to use the wine…is water a good substitute or something else?

    You could simply leave out the wine and it would be fine! Or if you feel you need a little more liquid, you could substitute a little chicken broth for some flavor (I think). :)

    We love Parma Rosa sauce here and I can’t wait to try this! You should try it with Kielbasa (we use the turkey kind) and pierogies. Pour it over both of the ingredients in a casserole dish, sprinkle with grated parm and bake until heated.
