This Chicken Stroganoff has a thick and savory sauce with large chunks of seasoned chicken and tons of earthy mushroom slices. Definitely bursting with flavor! If you prefer beef, try my Beef Stroganoff.
Chicken Stroganoff
We like to take our time with this Chicken Stroganoff recipe. Allowing the dish to simmer gives the flavors time to soak into the chicken and will make you want to savor every last bite. Make sure to have some bread around to sop up any leftover sauce! Check out this amazing recipe for no yeast breadsticks. They are perfect to sop up the leftover gravy! Season with garlic salt for an amazing pairing!

Also, we love to use our leftovers when we make slow cooker rotisserie chicken in this recipe. The seasonings from the rotisserie chicken blend great with the gravy in this chicken stroganoff recipe.
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff
If you were hoping to make this in the slow cooker you are in luck. You basically just skip cooking the chicken.
Follow these directions for Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff:
- In a crockpot, add the chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper and mix to coat evenly.
- In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until softened.
- Next, drop in the garlic and cook until fragrant, which will take about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned.
- Stir in the butter until melted and scrape any brown crust from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the flour and stir until no lumps remain. Add this mixture to the crockpot, along with the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and sour cream.
- Cook on low for 4 hours.
Chicken Stroganoff with Rice
The great debate, noodles, or rice. We serve it over egg noodles, homemade or store-bought, but it’s just as delicious over rice. We recommend using Jasmine, but any variety of long grain rice will work.

Made it according to recipe. Turned out real good.
I’m making this tonight. Any time I have a recipe that calla for Thyme or Rosemary, my husband always comments that there’s some taste in the dish he doesn’t like and he wont finish it. Is the thyme an important ingredient to stroganoff, or do you think I can leave it out?
I think you can leave it out. 🙂
GREAT RECIPE WILL TRY THIS SOON THANKS.
I need to know the amount of Sodium in all recipes I use, I’m on a 1500mg of sodium a day. It is hard to adjust if you don’t know the amount in a serving.
What are the nutritional valves?
Thanks, would love to make this recipe
I found the pepper over powering! I knew adding it in it seemed like a bit much but I like to give a recipe a try first as is, I would half the black pepper otherwise it was a hit!
This looks wonderful. I can hardly wait to try it.
I actually plan to try it in my Instant Pot!
This recipe is SO good! I love the kick from the cayenne. I wanted to drink the leftover sauce too. The only thing I changed was leaving out the shallot – I had one leftover from a previous recipe but it wasn’t good anymore. Will try to include shallot next time o make it but didn’t miss that at all! Oh and I also used smoked paprika because I was out of regular paprika. Again, it tuned out so we’ll!
It’s my first time making a recipe from your blog and will not be my last! Thank you!
I did this recipe today. My first stroganoff. It was amazingly delicious and easy to make. Thank you for such an outstanding recipe!!
Hi!Wine is not allowed here in saudi arabia, what can I use as an alternative? Pls, help me, tnx! Happy cooking! God bless!
You could just use chicken broth or stock.
I made this tonight. It was delish! I followed the recipe and found it to be a great keeper! Next time I will add more wine, cause we really love the taste of wine sauces. But it is excellent just as it is written. Thank you for this new variation for chicken!
made this for my husband and i…what a lovely dish we both enjoyed it!
Hi! Is it a must to use flour, if I want to go as low carb as possible, any substitute or can I just leave the flour out? Thanks!
I think she uses the flour as a thickening agent – so it would be pretty runny without 🙂 Good Luck
Try cornstarch?
Tried this recipe today. Didn’t use the wine and used Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. Very tasty, we all enjoyed it. Thanks so much.
This looks delicious and I am going to try it right away. Thanks for posting this. I love the White Wine touch. My Mother always cooked with White Wine and everything she did turned out to be fabulous. She was a Cook for a lot of Families and the alcohol always cooks off– you will never even know you used it. Two Tablespoons is not enough to even get excited about. If it were a half of a bottle or something, that might be different. Two Tablespoons of white wine just gives it a flavor. I am certainly going to use the White Wine. Thanks for posting this. I have run off the recipe and will use it probably more than once.
It does not say amount of pasta?? Anyone know if I cook the whole bag??
Really? As much as you would normally eat!
Is there a substitute for one of the canned soups. So much sodium and I lcan’t do that. Thanks.
A friend of ours posted this on FB yesterday and we went straight to the grocery store and bought the ingredients. We have a ‘date night’ dinner once every 2 weeks since our 4 boys moved out and always try something new. No point just watching all those cooking shows.
This is hand’s down in our top 5 list. This was a perfect meal. The flavours were so good and intense.
So glad to hear it!
Please email me this recipe
Thanks
This recipe sounds delicious! What type of white wine would be best for cooking? I only drink Moscato, but think it might be too sweet for recipes.
Any white would work, but you are right, a Moscato would probably sweeten it too much. I use a dry white like a sherry.
