There are lots of things you could use instead. The easiest is probably condensed cream soup. I'd use 1 can of cream of condensed mushroom or cream of chicken soup, stirred together with 1 can of low fat evaporated milk. Or maybe a can of Progresso Creamy Mushroom sauce, which is the same size, 18 ounces as the Recipe Starter. I served our easy slow cooker chicken a la king over baked potatoes with Caesar salad on the side.
