Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

Because I don't have a personal assistant and refuse to eat fast food my slowcooker has become my new favorite little helper. Any busy girl needs a slow cooker, it's a must. We eat lamb stroganoff pretty often and love it so I wanted to see about a chicken stroganoff recipe. The recipe calls for chicken breast, but I made with a whole chicken, next time I will use chicken breast so I wont have to worry abut the bones. Right before serving I sauteed fresh mushrooms and onions in EVOO and garlic and added to the dish. So delicious! I found this recipe at all recipes but it is pretty basic so I added a few things.
