Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14 oz
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup sour cream
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish cooked egg noodles, rice potatoes for serving (note that we added some potatoes in the pot to get nice pictures)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until browned. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the onion mixture to the slow cooker and the chopped red and yellow bell peppers, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours or until the chicken is tender.
- Whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for another 10-15 minutes or until the sauce is thick.
- Stir in the sour cream until well combined. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired, and with cooked egg noodles, rice, or even potatoes if you wish.
