Slow Cooker Sorcery: A Game-Changer for Chicken Paprikash

Ingredients:

• 1.5 to 2 pounds of chicken, cut into pieces (such as thighs and drumsticks)
• One large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for added flavor)
• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1 cup sour cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

3. In the same skillet (if you didn’t brown the chicken), sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
4. Stir in the sweet Hungarian and optional smoked paprika, ensuring the onions and garlic are coated.
5. Transfer the onion and spice mixture to the slow cooker with the chicken.
6. Add chicken broth and diced tomatoes to the slow cooker, stirring to combine.
7. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours or until the chicken is tender.
8. About 30 minutes before serving, add the sliced bell pepper to the slow cooker.
9. Mix the sour cream with a spoon of the hot liquid from the slow cooker in a small bowl. Gradually stir the sour cream mixture into the slow cooker.
