Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes with juice (approx. 14.5 oz)
Spices and Seasoning
- 2 tbsp sweet paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Final Touch
- 1 cup sour cream
- Fresh parsley, for serving
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chicken chunks, chopped onion, diced tomatoes with their juice, sweet paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker.
- Mix Gently: Stir the ingredients gently to mix them evenly without breaking up the chicken pieces.
- Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Add Sour Cream: Once cooked, stir in the sour cream thoroughly until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Season and Serve: Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve the chicken paprikash topped with freshly chopped parsley for a bright finish.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add it to the slow cooker about 30 minutes before cooking ends.
- Serve with egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce.
- Use full-fat sour cream for the best texture and flavor.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for more juiciness.
