Slow Cooker Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff takes just minutes to throw in the slow cooker! It is so creamy and delicious and will become an instant family favorite!
I just returned from a weekend in Boston and it was fabulous. First time in the city and I fell in love! Everything about the city was incredible. From all of the historic sites and beautiful buildings to the amazing food… and lobster rolls…. and canolli. Let’s be honest, the food was uh- mazing!
Although exploring an exciting new city is so much fun there is no place like home. I couldn’t wait to get back to my family. Even though reality hit when my alarm went off at 7 am, I couldn’t wait to get back into the regular routine. As soon as I got the kids to school I looked around the cupboards for ingredients and was able to throw this Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff into the slow cooker. It took under 5 minutes!
MY OTHER RECIPESIt has minimal ingredients and the chicken cooks to tender and juicy perfection in the creamy mushroom sauce. I did use a can of cream of chicken soup but if you have some extra time you can make my homemade cream of chicken soup. The sauce is so easy and creamy and perfect with some noodles tossed inside.
I loved the flavor in the creamy sauce and the mushrooms hidden throughout were awesome. This made the perfect meal for my family and is so simple we will make it again and again!
If you are looking for an easy to make slow cooker meal that your family will love, this recipe is it!
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 8 ounce sliced mushrooms
- 1 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 (10½) ounce cream of chicken soup
- 1 envelope (1¼ ounce) dry onion soup mix
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- 1 pound large egg noodles for serving
- Place the chicken in the bottom of a lightly greased slow cooker. Add the mushrooms. In a medium sized bowl add cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and dry onion soup mix. Mix until incorporated and spread on top of chicken and mushrooms.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 3-4. Serve over noodles and top with fresh parsley and salt and pepper.

I made this exactly per the recipe and the sauce looks curdled. I mixed the cream cheese with the soup and dry ingredients but perhaps I didn’t mix well enough? Help! Can I still eat this or is it not edible?
I have made this meal twice and both times the chicken was very dry. The first time I cooked on high and the second time I cooked it on low. I followed the directions. Can someone help me out?
Made this recipe tonight. Followed directions except we just spooned the chicken stroganoff over the noodles. It is a tasty, creamy dish. We loved it! I will be making this again!
Has anyone made this in the Instant Pot pressure cooker? If so, what did you change and how long did you cook it for? TIA~
I found this recipe very easy and tasty using all the original ingredients, except putting noodles right in the crockpot. I did mashed potatoes separately, as my husband doesn’t like pasta, The sauce was kind of runny, probably because of no added noodles, so I added about 1/3 cup of the dry instant mashed potato flakes that I had for hubbies’ version shortly before serving it. Delicious!!
That is great to hear! I am so happy it was easy and your family enjoyed it!! Thanks for sharing! Xo
Delicious! I added some sour cream at the end…so yummy! Gonna be a regular. Thanks!
I LOVE that idea!! Thanks for sharing!!
I’ve made this recipe several times now. It’s probably my favorite as written, but have had it on top of rice, and even a bed of wilted spinach… which was really good too. Thanks for a new family favorite! (Oh, can’t wait to make your chicken with sundried tomatoes recipe. It just popped up on my screen. I’ll write a review after I make it.)
That makes me so happy! Thank you so much for sharing this! I am so glad you love it and made it your own! XOXO
Making this now and I’m not the best cook! The dry onion soup mix- do I have to boil first or just put the packet in with the cream cheese?
I made this 2 ways: first, as written. Delicious and easy! in the crockpot on low for 6 hours! But then I needed a quicker method for a larger group. Seared the chicken, then followed the recipe, except that I used 6 breasts. I wanted to be sure to have enough sauce, so I doubled just the soup and added about a can of milk.. Into the oven at 350 in a 9 x 12 pan and done in an hour. Again – delicious!
That is AWESOME!! Thanks so much for your comment!! I really appreciate it! I am so happy they both turned out for you! XOXO
Can cream cheese be substituted with anything else e.g. Sour cream?
This recipe sounds yummy…I’m making it now. Following exactly except using cream of mushroom soup. Will comment again after I eat it.
AWESOME!! Enjoy your meal! XOXO
Do i add any liquid to the soups?
Can’t wait to try this recipe ! Looks delicious. However, I have a question that was also asked a few times in the reviews but never replied or clarified…. for the condensed can of mushroom soup, to I add the can as is or do I make the soup as instructed on the back of the can? Please help!
Hi Lori, I can help you. You don’t need to add the water to the soup can. I’ve made a variation of this recipe for years and have never added the extra water. It would dilute the flavor. Hope this helped 😊
Can you cook the noodles in the crockpot?
Would adding Worcestershire sauce be Good? I love it in my beef stroganoff so I’m wondering if it would turn out okay with chicken?
Thanks!
I haven’t use Worcestershire sauce but you are more than welcome to use it! Let me know what you think! XOXO
I just made this dish. The only changes I made was I used a package of whole mushrooms and a 16 oz
Pack of mushrooms because we love a lot of mushrooms in every bite, and a little chicken stock and added flour towards the end of cooking for a thicker sauce and sprinkled some Romano parmesan cheese on top with the parsley. Absolutely fabulous!!
I LOVE your changes! I am so happy that you made it your own and it turned out great! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO
Hello, I am really excited to try this recipe, thank you for sharing. I was wondering if you had a recommendation on cooking the noodles in the crock-pot. I want to make this at work for my employees and we do not have a range or hot plate to cook noodles on. If incorporating them before they are cooked isn’t an option I could always cook them the night before. Thanks so much!…. Kamie
Good luck making this soup at work! Let me know how it turns out! Happy cooking! XOXO
Hi There! Making this today. Sorry for the silly question but is it 18 oz of cream cheese or is it one 8 oz. I’m guessing it’s 18 but don’t want to screw up dinner ?
It is 8 oz of cream cheese! Sorry for the confusion, I will change that ASAP. XOXO
It still says 18oz off cream cheese, I thought that was a lot till I saw this.
It is 1 package of an 8 ounce cream cheese.
This recipe looks amazing!! Do you have any suggestions on how to make this an Instant Pot recipe?
Does this read as one 8oz cream cheese or 18oz cream cheese? Help!
Yes, it is one 8 oz cream cheese! Enjoy! XOXO
Sounds like a lot of sodium. How can I reduce without losing the flavor?
Can cream cheese be substituted with anything else e.g. Sour cream?
That sounds great! Let me know how it turns out! XOXO
I’d like to know this also. Do you cook the noodles in the crock pot with everything else or separate on the stove and then add later?
You will cook the noodles separately then add them later in the crockpot at the end or on a plate with the meal on top of them. Enjoy!! XOXO
I have made this 3 times and it is so yummy. However I used two 8 oz packages of cream cheese since it read 18 oz. So maybe next time I will use 1 package and see how it turns out. So delicious tho!
Followed the recipe but added pre cooked bacon and replaced the parsley with chive and used tenderloins instead of breasts it turned out excellent . Thank You Alyssa for this recipe
Love this recipe. My picky son looks forward to it! Easy and super tasty recipe. Thank you!
Is it 18oz of c. cheese or 8oz?
8 oz of cream cheese. Thank you for letting me know!
Can this recipe be doubled? How long would you suggest letting it cook?
This looks great-can’t wait to try it!
Yes, that would be great if your slow cooker can hold that many ingredients. I would just add an extra hour to two hours in the slow cooker.
So quick & simple to make yet so delicious. Made this for family dinner. Everyone loved it. Thank you.
Make this
Has anybody tried if this freezes well?
I am glad I read the comments. I thought it was 18oz of cream cheese. Might want to fix that. Thank you for your recipes. My family enjoys them.
Hi with the chicken mushroom chicken stroganoff recipe my crockpot has a low setting that cooks for 8hours. Is that too much cooking on low for this recipe? Need to know. Cooking now
Yes, I would recommend only 4 to 6 hours on low. Enjoy! XOXO
Hey Alyssa! I made using a variety of mushrooms. It was wonderful! Thank you so much! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
Excellent. Thinking of adding uncooked eggs noodles halfway with cup of water
Would it be Possible to use reduced fat OR fat free cream cheese and low fat soup to cut calories and not ruin this recipe? Anxious to make with possible revisions. DH needs low calorie meals or as low as possible!
Yes, that sounds great! Let me know how it turns out! XOXO
8 ounces or 18 ounces of cream cheese? The recipe says, “1 8 ounce cream cheese, softened”. I can’t imagine it’s 18???!
Oh no! Not 18 ounces. It is one, 8 ounce cream cheese. Thanks for clarifying ;)!! XOXO
I’m 88 yrs old and love these easy recipes makes me think I can cook. I made the chicken stroganoff this morn and added a small diced onion and 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar. It came out as tasty as I could hope for. Thanks so much for this great recipe!!
That is awesome! You are very welcome! Thank you so much for following along with me! XOXO
Looking forward yo trying your recipes. Beginning with this one. Effortless!
i love this !!!! and so do my kids which is a plus plus !
i wound up cooking it on high for 2 hours tasted it and it was perfect waited another 20 mins and the chicken was a touch try.. either way this will absolutely become a regular this fall/ winter but i will most likely set it for 2 hours next time…. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE
I am so glad! YAY! That is great to hear! Thanks for following along with me! XOXO
Do you think it would be even better if I brown the chicken first? Maybe mushrooms too?
You can always try that! That sounds like a great idea. It does cook well in the slow cooker and makes it flavorful, tender and juicy. Let me know how it turns out! XOXO
Can’t wait to try this recipe. My slow cooker is my best friend in the kitchen!
Amazing! I did it using WW points and it was ask good!!! Cream Cheese 95% free and low fat Campbell’s cream of chicken. Family fav! Thanks🎉
I loved this recipe with the chicken but I wondering if there is a way to substitute beef instead of chicken?
That sounds great! Let me know how it turns out! XOXO
Does this recipe freeze ?
It does! It is great to warm up later on. Thanks for making one of my recipes! Enjoy! XOXO
Can I prepare everything the night before and leave it in the fridge then take it out and turn on the crock pot 6 hours before eating?
Yes, that sounds like a great idea! Enjoy your stroganoff! XOXO
