I’m no stroganoff expert, but this checked off all the boxes for me, easy, tasty, and not expensive to make.
I did use a heart healthy low sodium cream of chicken soup and neufchatel cream cheese. My only addition was a teaspoon or so of Kitchen Bouquet instead of the Worcestershire sauce.
I have a 7 qt. Crockpot, so it only took about 4.5 hours on low.
This is something I will definitely make again.
Thanks Karen!
If 4 chicken breast serve 4, how many oz of chicken total is that?
I am not sure, you would have to take a food scale and weigh your chicken breasts. Each chicken breast is different.
I got a tray of 4 skinless Chicken breasts at ALDI’S. They were about a pound apiece. That works just fine. Sometimes you’ll get Chicken breasts at other places that are smaller, so just figure for four pounds total whether the breasts you get are smaller, or larger.
Hi Alyssa, would it be okay to omit the dry onion soup mix? If not, is there anything it could be replaced with?
Hi Marianne, thank you for your question. You can use my recipe for homemade onion soup mix. Use 1/4 cup of this in place of the packet.
I use thighs instead of breast.
Hi!
Long time fan of your recipes 🙂
Can this be made in a dutch oven?
Hi Mel, thank you for your comment and question. This can be made in the dutch oven for sure!
-On the stove heat the dutch oven over medium-high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the dutch oven and add the chicken and mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through.
-In a medium-sized bowl add cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and dry onion soup mix. Mix until incorporated and add to the dutch oven, recede the heat to medium, stir and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring continually until everything is well incorporated and heated through.
-serve over noodles.
Let me know how it turns out!
Really good recipe!! Though I made a couple changes that definitely increased the flavor. I used skinless boneless chicken thighs that I seasoned with a bit of fire and smoke holy garlic seasoning and then browned on both sides in a skillet. Then I sliced into strips before adding to the slow cooker. Then in the same pan u put thin sliced and quartered sweet onions and the mushrooms and cooked them a bit til they just wilted and soaked up the chickens flavor. Then threw them in the cooker. Did everything else the same except I also added a teaspoon of lee and perrins Worcestershire sauce to the blended mix. Cooked it as instructed. It turned out absolutely amazing!!!
Made your cream of chicken soup. Cut the recipe in half except the mushrooms and started them on saute first to cook out a bit of the water before putting it all in my instant pot on low slow cook. Only took 2 hours and is absolutely delicious.
Thank you once again.
So easy and so delicious! Thank you!
