Crock pot recipes are a favorite of mine and this is a good one.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Mushroom Stroganoff

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

8 ounce sliced mushrooms

8 ounce cream cheese, softened

10½ ounce can cream of chicken soup

1 envelope dry onion soup mix

Salt and pepper to taste

1 pound large egg noodles for serving

Place the chicken in the bottom of a lightly greased slow cooker. Add the mushrooms.

In a medium sized bowl add cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and dry onion soup mix. Mix until incorporated and spread on top of chicken and mushrooms.

Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 3-4. Serve over noodles and top with salt and pepper.
