Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounce mushrooms, sliced
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 8 to 16 ounce egg noodles, cooked, for serving
- Fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
1. 1. Start by placing the chicken breasts in the bottom of a lightly greased slow cooker. Top the chicken with the sliced mushrooms.
2. 2. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, dry onion soup mix, sour cream (if using), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the ingredients are well combined and the sauce is smooth.
3. 3. Spread the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and mushrooms in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
4. 4. Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken from the slow cooker, shred or slice it, and then return it to the slow cooker, stirring it into the creamy sauce.
5. 5. Serve the Slow Cooker Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff over a bed of cooked egg noodles, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For an extra creamy texture, consider adding the optional 1/2 cup of sour cream to the sauce. This will enhance the overall richness and velvety mouthfeel.
The long, gentle cooking process in the slow cooker ensures the chicken breasts become incredibly tender and easy to shred or slice.
Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika, to further enhance the flavor profile of your stroganoff.
You can easily customize this dish by adding other vegetables, like diced carrots or frozen peas, to boost the nutritional value and variety.
