Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small blender or food processor, combine carrot, parsley, onion, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Process until finely chopped, creating a flavorful base. Transfer this mixture to your slow cooker. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the cubed chicken and butter to the slow cooker. Stir well to ensure the chicken is coated with the aromatic vegetable mixture. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cook on Low setting for 5 to 6 hours, allowing the chicken to become incredibly tender and infused with flavor. (3 minutes)

04

Step

After the slow cooking period, stir in the Neufchâtel cheese, cream of chicken soup, and frozen peas. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Switch the slow cooker to High and cook until everything is heated through and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

06

Step

Serve hot over rice or your favorite noodles. Enjoy!

For an even richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the Stroganoff during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream (optional) for an extra touch of elegance.

    I thought it was a little bland, so I added some garlic powder and onion powder. It was perfect after that!

    I substituted Greek yogurt for the Neufchatel cheese to make it even healthier and it still tasted amazing.
