Slow cooker chicken stroganoff is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for any weeknight dinner. The use of a slow cooker makes it incredibly convenient, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully over time while you go about your day. This recipe features succulent chicken thighs, earthy mushrooms, and a rich, creamy sauce that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear each side until golden brown. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it in the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the tomato puree, mixing well with the onions and garlic.
- Sprinkle the flour and paprika over the mixture and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken gravy, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the slow cooker, ensuring they are well distributed.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
- Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and the flavors well combined.
- Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the chicken stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. You can also garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Searing the chicken thighs before adding them to the slow cooker can enhance the flavor and add a nice texture to the dish.
- Finely chop the onions and garlic to ensure they meld seamlessly into the sauce while cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the slow cooker in the last hour of cooking.
- For a creamier sauce, add a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese just before serving.
- Feel free to use a mix of mushrooms, such as cremini or baby bellas, to add more depth to the dish.
Enjoy your homemade slow cooker chicken stroganoff with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles for a complete meal. The tender chicken and savory sauce are sure to make this a family favorite. Don't forget to garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an extra burst of flavor and a pop of color.
