Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff in the Slow Cooker
This chicken and mushroom stroganoff is the perfect weeknight meal. It’s so easy to throw together and always satisfies! As soon as I got the kids to school I looked in my cupboard for ingredients and was able to throw this stroganoff into the slow cooker. It took under 5 minutes! All of my fellow busy moms rejoice.
It 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, creamy, and perfect with some noodles tossed inside.

- Chicken Breasts: I used boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes.
- Sliced Mushrooms: I used regular brown mushrooms, but cremini and baby bella mushrooms also work!
- Cream Cheese: You will want this to be softened so your sauce turns out lump-free.

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
Can you cook the noodles in the crockpot?
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 ?
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 cream cheese be substituted with anything else e.g. Sour cream?
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
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’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
Delicious! I added some sour cream at the end…so yummy! Gonna be a regular. Thanks!
I LOVE that idea!! Thanks for sharing!!
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
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~
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!
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?
Add sherry 1/2 cup . Just before cooked, add 1/2 cup sour cream. You’ll love it
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?
Should I be stirring it every so often?
I would love your home made cream of chicken soup – I’m very lactose intolerant and can’t use premade soups. Would love your recipe and hoping I can adapt it!! Thank you
thank you for this recipe, great idea to slow cook this and like the chicken for beef swap as a nice change to the traditional recipe
