Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

CHICKEN – Instead of chicken breasts you can easily substitute with chicken thighs.

SAUCE – You can omit the Worcestershire sauce or Dijon mustard if that’s what you prefer, but the two really help bring a lot of flavor to the plate. Feel free to add a splash of dry white wine for an even richer sauce like we do in our skillet style chicken stroganoff recipe.

1. Add cubed chicken into a lightly greased slow cooker.
2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and onion powder.
3. Add in chicken stock, sour cream, Dijon, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
4. Add the mushrooms, then place chunks of softened cream cheese on top of the mixture in the slow cooker. Set it on LOW for 6 hours.
5. Stir well to mix everything and to help break up the cream cheese. The chicken will start shredding at this point but you may need to shred it lightly with a fork.
6. Serve the mixture over a bed of cooked egg noodles, or mix them in entirely.
7. Serve immediately with freshly chopped parsley.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Chicken stroganoff is best enjoyed right away, but you can store leftovers in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of cream or water. You can also reheat it in the microwave in 30 second bursts until warmed through.
