This is one of those ‘set and forget’ recipes because you’ll be using your slow cooker to get the job done. You can cook this deliciously creamy chicken stroganoff without the slow cooker, so don’t be put off by the instructions.

You’ll end up with a very satisfying meal. It’s quick and easy, and there should be enough for leftovers. I recommend serving with mashed potato or buttered pasta and some steamed greens.
