Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash

Blue Skies's Note:

So very easy and tastes great! Found this in Cooking Light magazine. Note: you can also add 1-8oz package of pre-sliced mushrooms, we just don't care for them and so took it out the recipe. Chicken comes out so soft it just falls apart, although the sauce may need to be thickened slightly. I serve with white rice, basmatti rice, or couscous. Also it freezes well if you would like to enjoy your leftovers at a later date. Enjoy!

This meal had a really lovely combination of flavours. As Kate57 did, I froze this before adding sour cream. My fiance and I both loved the flavour and how healthy it is. I think I added a little more paprika than the recipe, but I'm not sure because I just kept adding it until it was right for us. Thanks for another great recipe for my freezer.

We very much enjoyed this meal. I did make it ahead of time without the sour cream and froze it for the week-end. Started the rice, re-heated the chicken paprikash, added the sour cream and walaa! dinner is served. Thank-you for something new to try.

The prep on this was easy and the chicken turned out very tender, but my husband felt this was kind of "plain." I thought it was peppery, which I like, but I doubt I'll make it again because he just wasn't all that thrilled with it. NOTE: I didn't add the mushrooms, though my husband might have liked it more if I did. He's a big fan of mushrooms.
