❤️ Why you'll love it

  • One of the easiest comfort foods to make
  • A hearty meal that fills up the whole family
  • The creamy mushroom sauce always turns out perfectly

With a flavorful, simple sauce that simmers on top of the tender pieces of chicken, this slow-cooker chicken stroganoff recipe is ideal for a busy weeknight.

Spooned over some soft egg noodles and garnished with a bit of fresh parsley, it's a delicious meal that you'll crave again—and again!

🧾 Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the green recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

Labeled ingredients for this recipe.

🔪 Instructions

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

Step by step images showing how to make this recipe.
  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!

👩‍🍳 FAQs

Can I freeze this chicken stroganoff crock pot recipe?

I don't recommend it. It *can* be frozen since this sauce is made with commercial cream soup but you still run the chance of it separating. Cream sauce with a high dairy content—like this one—doesn't tend to thaw very well. Enjoy it within five days from the refrigerator, instead.

Wait, so I don't need chicken broth in this recipe?

Nope! It's easy-peasy. Unlike making a classic gravy with chicken broth and a thickener, we use the cream-of-soups which are nice and thick already—perfect for creamy, easy stroganoff sauce.

Can I use cream of celery soup instead of mushroom?

You can if you need to! It'll alter the flavor a bit, but it'll still taste good.

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  • Cube the cream cheese and evenly spread it over the chicken. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, sour cream, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasonings, and ground pepper.
  • Mix until all combined.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and carefully mix to coat the mushroom with the soup mixture.
  • Spread the soup mixture over the chicken and cream cheese.
  • Set the slow cooker to High.
  • Cook for 3 hours on High or 5 hours on LOW or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Boil the water and cook the egg noodles according to the instructions on the package.
  • Take the chicken breasts out and cut them into cubes.
  • Place back into the slow cooker and mix slightly.
  • Serve over egg noodles and sprinkle with fresh herbs.

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.
  • 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!

      This is a departure from the traditional noodles, but I like to get a huge loaf of french bread, cut it lengthwise, put the stroganoff on it, top with Mozzarella and bake in the oven till the bread is good and crusty and the cheese melts. Then cut into pieces for open-faced stroganoff sandwiches. I would serve this with a crisp, tangy Coleslaw and Rice Krispy Treats for dessert.

      I’d Serve it with either of these…caramelized Roasted brussel sprouts. With a very light sprinkle of Balsamic Vinegar, topped off with light dusting of Parmesan Cheese. Or, scratch that idea & Caramelized lightly with Sesame Oil & Sea Salt.

      I love stroganoff but sometimes I need a change from the beef version. This is the answer! I would serve this meal with a small bowl of fruit salad. Also a nice fluffy biscuit with butter would make my day!!

      This chicken recipe is a selicious change from its beef companion. We eat a lot of chicken so it was a real hit. Delicious served with my homemade bread and a large salad loaded with everthing. Hits the spot for a quick and creamy dish. A definite keeper.

      I love this recipe its so versatile using the beef tips for a change from chicken good either way, my family likes chicken and this is the one that hit the spot... I usually bake fresh bread (sour dough),  hubby likes his candied carrots as he calls them (your maple syrup recipe) my daughter and I like our  veggie salads, throw in everything but the kitchen sink.  OH!  Y'all don't forget sweet Texas iced tea. This meal is an anytime meal, I enjoy having it for dinner, then reheat for supper over the fresh bread or my son calls it "sopping' up gravy lol. Hubby loves his cheesecake so I try to do any number of the delicious cheesecakes with this meal be it with beef or chicken. i have taken this to potluck reunions, church, friends or relatives since the already cooked egg noodles can be added to heat before serving  ; o)  Easy Peezy, I do get asked for the recipe, it's always a shock when I tell them it's the same recipe Dear oh dear the choices we must make to make people happy just the discussion of which meat you choose.  Isn't cooking awesome, y'all? YES ? I think so too

      Pasta dishes need light sides. Even frozen green peas steamed in the bag would go with this just fine. But fresh romaine lettuce with and olive oil balsamic vinaigrette & fresh Parmesan would be good.
