Slow Cooker Chicken Goulash - Gluten Free/Grain Free/Sugar Free

Slow Cooker Chicken Goulash

Today I wanted something easy to just stick in my crockpot early in the day and do very little prep work after work.  Sorry, this one is not dairy free, but I tasted it before adding the sour cream and it would be just fine if you left it out, it would just be more of a curry type of dish rather than a goulash.

3 large chicken breasts - I started with mine still frozen, just threw them in the crockpot
1 large onion (or 2 small onions) sliced into rings
1 pint canned tomatoes (I used ones I canned myself, you can use ones from the store)
3-4 pickled cherry peppers, cut in half.  You could use regular jar roasted peppers instead, I just really love cherry peppers.
1 C beef stock
2 T paprika - I used smoked, you can also use sweet paprika or hot paprika or a combination, depending on your taste.
1 1/2 C sour cream

Put the chicken in the crockpot, top with onions, tomatoes and peppers.  Mix the beef stock with paprika and pour on top.  Cook on low 6-9 hours, or on high 3-4.  When ready to eat, remove the chicken and chop into bite sized pieces.  Mix sour cream into the sauce in the crockpot and return chicken.

Normally this is served over egg noodles, but I didn't have time to make my normal substitution for egg noodles, which is thinly sliced zucchini or yellow squash (briefly steamed).  Instead I served it over leftover cauliflower "mock" mashed potatoes (see the post from May 9th).

Here's a picture of what it looks like when you start the crockpot, below what it looks like when served from the crockpot (I could put it in a serving dish, but why make one more dirty dish?)
