Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs on top of the onions.
Sprinkle the sweet Hungarian paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Pour the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring the chicken is mostly covered in the liquid.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender and cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and set it aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix the plain nonfat Greek yogurt and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the liquid in the slow cooker to create a creamy sauce.
Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir gently to coat the chicken with the sauce. Cover and let it warm for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Serve the chicken paprikash over cooked egg noodles or rice, if desired, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
