💭 Why you’ll love this recipe
This recipe is an easy toss and go crockpot recipe. It is a family friendly and uses just a few ingredients.
🍗 Ingredients needed
For this recipe, you’ll need:
- Chicken thighs: I’ve found that for crockpot cooking, chicken thighs tend to stay very juicy. They also have more flavor which goes great in this stroganoff recipe. You’ll want to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Only have chicken breast on hand? That’s OK, chicken breast also works in this recipe.
- Cream of chicken: The cream of chicken will give this crockpot recipe a nice creamy texture. You will need two cans.
- Fresh mushrooms: I used baby bella but almost any sliced mushrooms will work.
- Onion soup mix: You’ll need one envelope of dry onion soup mix.
- White onion: You’ll need one white onion.
- Salt and pepper: I usually recommend salt and pepper to taste in most of my recipes. Since canned cream of chicken has a bit of sodium you might want to consider going light on the salt.
- Egg noodles: For serving. I prefer to make the egg noodles separately. They are so quick to prepare that I think it’s worth not risking them getting too mushy by mixing them in towards the end.
🍲 What size crockpot do I need to make this recipe?
You will need a 4 quart or larger crockpot for this recipe.
🥣 How do I make this recipe?
Begin by spraying your crockpot with non-stick spray. Next, slice your onion and add it to your crockpot with the chicken. Wash and dry your mushrooms. Slice them (I bought pre-sliced), if necessary and add them to the mixture.
Next, add the cream of chicken soup, packet of dry onion soup mix, and salt and pepper. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Serve over egg noodles.
🍚 What should I serve with this recipe?
I prefer to serve this crockpot chicken stroganoff over egg noodles but you could also serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty white bread.
👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can put raw chicken in your slow cooker. Many slow cooker recipes call for raw chicken.
Do you have to brown chicken before putting in slow cooker?
There is no need to brown the chicken first.
There are many reasons why chicken becomes tough in the crockpot. There may have not been enough liquid or it may have been overcooked. Using too large of a crockpot will also dry out your chicken. You could also try using a different cut of meat. I find with crockpot cooking, chicken thighs hold their flavor and moisture better than other cuts of chicken.
