This slow cooker chicken paprikash is a beautifully comforting dish that brings authentic Hungarian flavours to your kitchen with minimal effort. By gently simmering chicken legs with sweet and hot paprika, the meat becomes incredibly tender while the onions melt into a rich, savoury base. The addition of tangy soured cream at the end creates a silky, luxurious sauce that perfectly balances the warmth of the spices.
As a versatile main course, this recipe is ideal for busy weekdays when you want a nutritious, homemade meal waiting for you at the end of the day. Serve it traditionally over buttered noodles or with creamy mashed potatoes to soak up every drop of the vibrant paprika sauce. A scattering of fresh dill adds a final bright note to this classic family favourite.
