Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic over the chicken.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme until smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients in the crockpot; cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream until well combined, then continue cooking until heated through.
  7. While the stroganoff finishes, cook the egg noodles according to package directions.
  8. Serve the creamy chicken stroganoff over the hot egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Avoid boiling the stroganoff after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. For extra flavor, you can sear the chicken pieces before adding them to the crockpot.
