Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

I've always felt like winter is the perfect season for using the slow cooker. I'm not sure why since I use mine year-round, but it just seems right to have the aroma of a home-cooked meal in the house throughout a cold winter's day. It gives the comforting feeling that we are ready for whatever Ol' Man Winter wants to throw at us. 

Although we've been blessed with a mild-ish winter in our region, I've been using the slow cooker a lot! Today, I wanted to share the latest recipe - Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff. 

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

This makes a rich, creamy sauce that is delicious served over egg noodles or rice. 

Ingredients

3-4 boneless chicken breasts, cut up into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup sour cream

1 pkg cream cheese, cubed

1 sm. diced onion- optional

1 cup mushrooms, fresh, sliced -optional

2 T. butter, softened
2 T. minced garlic

1 can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup

1 pkg dry Italian Salad Dressing and Recipe Mix (* you can substitute w/Ranch mix too!)
1 pkg or egg noodles or rice

Directions - Stir the chicken, butter, onions, garlic, mushrooms and Italian dressing-recipe mix into a greased crock pot and cook 3-4 hours on high. 
Now stir in the sour cream, cubed cream cheese, and soup; cook an additional 30 minutes or until heated through.  During this time, prepare your noodles (we used egg noodles) or rice. 

Note - this also tastes great topped with steamed vegetables like broccoli!
