Ingredients
Instructions
- Put frozen chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock-pot.
- Mix the fat-free cream of mushroom soup, fat-free sour cream, and dry onion soup mix together.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken in the crock-pot.
- Cook on low for 7 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or onions to the sauce mixture. If you don't have dry onion soup mix, a blend of onion powder, garlic powder, and herbs can work as a substitute. You can also use fresh chicken breasts instead of frozen, but adjust the cooking time to about 4 hours on low. This dish pairs wonderfully with egg noodles or rice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chicken Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice for a hearty meal. A side of steamed broccoli or a simple green salad complements the dish well, adding freshness. For a comforting touch, consider serving it with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the stroganoff in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You can also microwave it in a microwave-safe dish, covering it loosely to retain moisture, for about 2-3 minutes or until heated thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh chicken instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of frozen. Just reduce the cooking time to about 4 hours on low, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, swap the fat-free sour cream with a dairy-free alternative, such as cashew cream or coconut yogurt. Ensure the cream of mushroom soup is also dairy-free or use a homemade version.
What can I do if the sauce is too thick?
If the sauce ends up too thick, you can thin it out by adding a little chicken broth or water. Stir in a small amount gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
