Notes

Smothered Chicken Q&A

I don't like rice - can I substitute something else?

Yes! Try mashed potatoes. I also always serve a veggie on the side for a balanced meal.

What if I don't like using cream of chicken soup?

You can definitely make a substitute. A great alternative can be found at Berly's Kitchen. Just substitute the equivalent amount of ounces in this recipe with her homemade version.

Do you have recommendations for a good pressure cooker and slow cooker?

I sure do. When it comes to pressure cookers, I love the 6qt Instant Pot Duo. I've had mine for years and it works like a charm every time. When it comes to slow cookers - you can't go wrong with the original crockpot.
