Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash

Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash

I don't know about you, but it sure is hot here lately! I love to break out the slow cooker in the summer so we can still have delicious meals without heating up the whole kitchen.

Chicken Paprikash is already full of flavor and easy on the budget, but slow cooking using chicken thighs only makes it more delicious and budget-friendly. Any cut of chicken can be used if you prefer white meat, but use bone-in for best flavor and results. Serve over noodles as suggested here, or trade for rice or spaetzle.
