Ingredients

• 6 pieces bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.

Step 5

Pour the onion and broth mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes on low, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Step 7

While the sauce is thickening, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 8

Once the sauce is thickened, serve the chicken and sauce over the egg noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
