Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms over the chicken.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and paprika. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 hours, or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
Stir in the sour cream. If the sauce is too thin, create a slurry by mixing the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker and allow it to thicken for the remaining cooking time.
Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Stop the slow cooker once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken stroganoff over the egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
