We have this at least once a week, and it has become our favorite slow cooker recipe. Nice enough for company, too.
Paprika Chicken and Vegetables
2 boneless chicken breast halves (or 2 lbs of chicken drumsticks)
1 pounds small white potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
2 medium carrots, cut in chunks
1 medium onion, cut in thin wedges
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
2 tablespoons Spanish smoked paprika
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey
Dash cumin
Wash chicken and pat dry. Combine potatoes, carrots, and onion wedges in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter; toss. Combine the butter with the smoked paprika, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and dash of salt and dash of cumin. Rub chicken breasts with the paprika mixture; arrange on vegetables.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, or on LOW for 7 to 9 hours, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Serves 4.
