Ingredients
  

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 white onion; diced
  • 3 tablespoons garlic; minced
  • 5 tablespoons paprika
  • 48 oz. chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper may add more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt may add more to taste
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 16 oz. rotini pasta
  • Water for boiling pasta
  • 1 teaspoon parsley for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • Filet chicken breast in half longwise and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place the washed chicken into the slow cooker. Add in one diced white onion. Add in three tablespoons garlic and stir well.
  • Add five tablespoons paprika onto the chicken and stir well until the chicken is coated. Pour in the chicken broth. Add in salt and pepper. Place the slow cooker on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours.
  • About one hour until finish time it's time to add the cornstarch. Mix the cornstarch with about 1/2 cup water and pour into the slow cooker. Mix well. This will help thicken the sauce to a gravy. Just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Once the liquid has thickened remove some to a bowl and mix in sour cream very well. Then add the sour cream to the pot. This helps from the sour cream becoming chunks in the pot. Stir well.
  • Boil pasta as directed on package. Drain and serve topped with the chicken and sauce.
