Chicken Paprikash aka Sour Cream Chicken Paprika

This is my spin on a traditional Hungarian dish and it is sooo yummy. Last night I made the Buff Chicken Dip for the hubs but I was craving this dish so I made this for me and the wild child in my small crock pot.

I put one chicken breast that I cut in half to make it thin and cook faster and usually I would put a chopped onion and garlic with chicken broth in with it but the smell of fresh onions and garlic are morning sickness triggers AND I was out of chicken stock/chicken bullion cubes. Instead of my usual suspects, I improvised with lots of garlic and onion powder with about two and a half cups of water. I also added lots of pepper and about a teaspoon of salt with a tablespoon each of dill, paprika and extra virgin olive oil. I started that crock pot at high for an hour and then pulled the chicken out to shred it and placed it back in the pot. By this time I remembered that I had carrots in the fridge so I quickly put a small pot on the stove with water and boiled them until tender while I cooked the pasta for this. I wish I had some celery for it but I was not going back to the store on Superbowl Sunday for celery. Once the pasta and carrots were done, I drained the pasta and cut up the carrots then threw them in the crock pot then added half a container of sour cream.. I would have used the whole thing because I LOVE SOUR CREAM but I was our :( and again, not going back to the store. I stirred it up and probably should have done a better job because you can see the sour cream when it should have been a smooth mixture but it tasted the same so I didn't care too much. 

Ingredients:

1 Chicken breast 

2 1/2 cups of water or chicken broth

1 tablespoon of garlic powder or 1-2 cloves of chopped garlic

1 tablespoon of onion powder or 1 onion chopped

1 tablespoon of dill

1 tablespoon of pepper

1 tablespoon of paprika

1 teaspoon of salt and extra for taste

1/2-1 8oz container of sour cream

Any vegetable you want to add I like carrots and celery but you can add what you like.

Cooked pasta, rice or mashed potatoes

I used pasta but you can also make this gluten free by putting it over rice or mashed potatoes which I think I'm going to go with the potatoes for my leftovers for lunch today and I might thicken the sauce up with a little bit of milk since I'm still not

You can use white or dark meat and you can even use it with the bone in, it is up to you. I grew up with this as a bone-in dark meat chicken but you use what you want and like. Also you can tweek this recipe to fit the needs and likes of your family. Enjoy!!
