Ingredients
- 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- ½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 1 tbsp of the bacon drippings.
- Season the chicken with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, cooked bacon, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and dried parsley.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2½–3½ hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and is tender.
- Remove the chicken and shred or slice it. Return it to the slow cooker.
- Stir in the softened cream cheese. Cover and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring until smooth.
- Mix the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker and cook for another 5–10 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off the slow cooker and gently stir in the sour cream.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain well.
- Toss the noodles with butter, parsley, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
- Serve the creamy chicken and mushroom stroganoff over the herbed noodles and garnish with extra parsley and crispy bacon.
