This Chicken Stroganoff is a hearty favorite perfect for leftovers. 

This Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff is a delicious and comforting dish you can whip up right in the slow cooker.  Chicken thighs and mushrooms cook up in an oniony sauce before getting mixed with cream cheese and sour cream to create a creamy sauce that goes perfect with thick egg noodles.  This is always a family favorite.

I love hearty and comforting dinners that are also easy that I can just throw in the slow cooker and this Chicken Stroganoff is always a favorite.

I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and have a delicious, flavorful dinner that everyone really enjoys.  Whenever I find a dinner that everyone in my house likes that is amazing because I have some picky eaters but they love this soup!  And for it to be in the slow cooker? That’s a double win!

This Slow Cooker Stroganoff is full of flavor and I always love to make it when the weather starts to get chilly.  This is a filling dish that is budget-friendly. The base of this soup is chicken and noodles and you can’t get more budget-friendly than a bag of noodles.  It also uses mushrooms which can help bulk up a soup and make it go further.

This Chicken Stroganoff is full of flavor from the rich chicken, earthy mushrooms and pops of onion flavor.  It goes perfectly over a bed of egg noodles but is also delicious over rice or mashed potatoes if you prefer.  Plus the leftovers just get better and better!  

This stroganoff is so comforting and hearty, just like a comfort in a bowl.  You can also stretch it and customize it by adding veggies like potatoes or carrots.

I love that you can tweak this to your family’s taste, you can swap out the mushrooms or even swap out the for chicken for another protien.  

This is great served with a little side salad and some soft bread but I like to serve it with these nice and fluffy Lunch Lady Rolls. 

Everyone is feeling the pinch with the grocery bill right now and you can’t get much cheaper than chicken and pasta.  So this is a fabulous dinner when you are trying to save a few pennies and it makes a lot!  The leftovers are amazing!

My family always starts asking for this when the weather gets chilly.  It keeps everyone warm and cozy.

Next time you want a crowd-pleasing dinner just throw these ingredients together and let the slow cooker take care of the rest! 

I promise your whole family will love this Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff. 

You will want to make this dinner again and again! We do!

RECIPE FAQS

 

Can I freeze this?

You can freeze this after cooking.  The pasta might not be quite the same texture but it should still taste great!  You can also freeze this and add cooked noodles to it after heating up. Or you could freeze the ingredients minus the noodles and just add it to your slow cooker when you are ready to cook. 

Can I substitute the chicken?

Yes, you can use cubed up pork roast, stew beef or any boneless cut of chicken you have on hand. 

What should I serve this with?

This is a filling dish all on it’s own but it’s delicious with a little side salad and it is really comforting with some of these Homemade Hawaiian Rolls on the side. 

What else can I add?

This is a great hearty dish that you can add any veggies you like to, potatoes and carrots would be great, peas would be fabulous, even corn is tasty in this.  

INGREDIENTS

• Chicken Broth –  I prefer to use a low-sodium chicken broth for this recipe. 
• Chicken Thighs – You can also use boneless chicken breasts or tenderloins. 
• Ketchup –  You only need a bit of this to add a little flavor. 
• Onion Soup Mix – The dry kind in an envelope is what you need, it gives this dish soo much flavor. 
• Mushrooms –  These are optional, while they are traditional in stroganoff they are not everyone’s favorite and can be left out. 
• Egg Noodles –  This is traditionally served over egg noodles thought you could serve it over rice or mashed potatoes if you like. 
• Cream Cheese – This provides a creamy base for this dish. 
• Sour Cream –  Sour cream adds a little tang and creaminess to the stroganoff.
