🔪 Instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. Full instructions are in the green recipe card at the bottom of the page.

1. Whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, half-cup of sour cream, and seasonings.
2. Stir the fresh mushrooms into the soup mixture.
3. Add boneless skinless chicken breasts to the crock pot and cover with cubes of cream cheese.
4. Spoon the mushroom mixture over the chicken.

🥫 Storage

This easy recipe will keep for five days in the refrigerator. Portion leftovers into an airtight container or lidded storage dish.

You can reheat the crockpot chicken stroganoff in the microwave or on the stove. Place the leftovers in a large pot over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it's warmed to your liking. Don't overheat it, though, or the noodles will get a bit soft.

📖 Variations

• Use dark meat—swap the chicken breasts for skinless chicken thighs.
• Make it beefy by replacing the chicken with stewing beef (the kind that comes pre-cut into chunks from the supermarket.) Watch the cook time though so the meat doesn't get chewy.
• You can use a homemade cream of chicken soup (made from chicken stock) instead of a can if you prefer. However, I like to keep this easy slow cooker chicken stroganoff just that—easy!
• If you have a little extra time, you can add diced onion or minced garlic.
• Add a splash of white wine to the soup mixture for extra richness. Plus, once the bottle is open, you have a reason to enjoy a glass with dinner!
• Some people like to add a dash of dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce for a slightly more tangy, salty flavor.

💭 Things to know

Expert Tip: Want to do all your prep at once? Let the noodles boil while you put the stroganoff ingredients in the crockpot. Then, after the noodles are finished cooking, drain and toss them in some olive oil to prevent sticking. Store noodles in the fridge and stir them into the stroganoff before serving to rewarm.

• Don't forget to grease the crockpot with some nonstick cooking spray so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot. If you're out, use some butter.
• Save time! I used pre-sliced baby Bella sliced mushrooms. You can use white mushrooms as well.
• Follow the package directions carefully to cook the egg noodles just to al dente. Nobody likes mushy noodles!
• Garnish is the best part! I love how fresh herbs complement the creamy, rich mushroom sauce. My favorites are parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Dill is also good, depending on what you're serving with dinner!
• If you're anything like me, your favorite meals include cheese. Sprinkle a little freshly grated Parmesan over top for dish worthy of a chef's kiss!
• Don't want to serve crockpot chicken stroganoff with pasta? (Or, maybe you're gluten-free?) A hearty scoop of mashed potatoes is great, too!

Notes

Storage:

Put chicken stroganoff leftovers in a ziploc bag, airtight container, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

The stroganoff freezes well because it's made with commercial cream soups. If you make your own creamy sauce it won't freeze well at all.

Tips:

• Save time by cooking the noodles during prep. Toss with a little olive oil and refrigerate until dinner time. Stir into the stroganoff about 10 minutes before serving to warm them up.
• Don't forget to grease the crockpot with some nonstick cooking spray so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot. If you're out, use some butter.
• Save time! I used pre-sliced baby Bella sliced mushrooms. You can use white mushrooms as well.
