Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chicken breast Cut into small cubes, Boneless
- ½ cup Onion Finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic Finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- ¼ cup Chicken broth Low sodium
- 1 can Crushed tomatoes 14.5 oz. can
- 1.5 tablespoon Sweet Hungarian paprika
- 1.5 tablespoon Hot Hungarian paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper Optional
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- ½-3/4 cup Sour cream Full fat, Adjust according to your preference
- 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
- Add the following ingredients in the crockpot: chicken cubes, onion, garlic, tomato paste, broth, crushed tomatoes, sweet paprika, hot paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper.
- Mix until combined.
- Cover and cook on Low heat for 4-5 hours or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Mix together ½ cup sour cream with all-purpose flour and add this mixture in the crockpot. Stir until combined. I recommend starting with ½ cup sour cream and then adding more, as necessary, to your liking.
- Continue cooking uncovered on Low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened.
- Garnish with finely chopped parsley if you like and serve with noodles or rice. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a milder spice factor, omit cayenne pepper and replace hot Hungarian paprika with sweet Hungarian paprika.
- You cannot replace Hungarian paprika with regular paprika because they are not the same.
- Use full fat sour cream for maximum creaminess.
- Use low fat broth to ensure this meal doesn't become too salty.
- Make sure to finely chop your onions because you don't want to end up with chunky bits in the sauce at the end. Finely chopped onions means they will end up dissolving into the sauce/gravy during the cooking process.
- Read additional tips and variations above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
