Description

This comforting Crockpot Chicken Paprikash is a creamy and flavorful slow-cooked dish featuring tender chicken breasts simmered with sweet paprika, garlic, and diced tomatoes, finished with a smooth sour cream sauce and garnished with fresh parsley. Perfect for an easy and hearty meal.


Ingredients

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

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the chicken chunks, chopped onion, diced tomatoes with their juice, sweet paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker.
  2. Mix Gently: Stir the ingredients gently to mix them evenly without breaking up the chicken pieces.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Sour Cream: Once cooked, stir in the sour cream thoroughly until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. 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.
