Chicken Paprikash with Sour Cream
Slow-cooking dark leg meat results in incredibly tender, flavorful chicken. However, if you prefer white meat you can substitute bone-in chicken breasts. Placing the onions on the bottom of the slow cooker will ensure that they become silky soft as the chicken releases its juices, creating a heady sauce. This recipe was originally part of a feature on slow cooking. For additional recipes and tips for using a slow cooker, click here.
