Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash

Monday was Marathon Monday/Patriot's Day so we had the day off! I slept in a little then when I got up I made dinner before breakfast. The recipe for the day was a slow cooker recipe and I figured it was a great day to try it! Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash courtesy of Cooking Light, March 2006. By the end of the day the meal looked and smelled a little burnt so I wasn't really looking forward to trying it. It ended up tasting much better than I thought it would, definitely not burnt! The recipe is definitely a fall or a winter recipe not really a good spring meal. A hearty, slow cook stew like meal served over egg noodles. I should have known better but I couldn't resist trying it!


Lauren's review: It was okay but not nearly as flavorful as I would have liked. Even with more salt and pepper it was still lacking something.
Matt's review: It was good.
Final decision: I initially thought that I would keep it and tweak it the next time I made it (in the winter or the fall!) but after having leftovers for lunch on Tuesday I decided it's not worthy. I'm sure I can find a better option.
