Whatever Wednesday ( Slow Cooker Chicken Goulash)

I have been on the hunt for recipes that use diced tomatoes. I still have a freezer full of homemade diced tomatoes that I made last summer that I am trying to use up. I looked on pinterest and came across this recipe. It is called slow cooker chicken goulash and it turned out to be really yummy!
Here is the recipe for you!

Slow Cooker Chicken Goulash

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 Tablespoons of olive oil

1 large yellow onion, sliced

1 sweet red bell pepper, chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped finely

3 large cloves of garlic

1 Tablespoon of paprika

(1) 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes (diced or stewed would work too)

1/4 cup of red wine vinegar

1 Tablespoon of brown sugar (light or dark should be fine, whatever you have on hand)

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of ground black pepper

 

 In a medium sized skillet heat the olive over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent and tender.

 

Add to crock pot. Now add the bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and garlic cloves to the pan. Cook until soft and tender. Add to crock pot.

Add the remaining ingredients to the crock pot and stir to slightly incorporate.

 

Cook on low for 5 - 6 hours or on high for 2.5 - 3 hours. Once the chicken breasts are cooked thoroughly remove them from the crock pot and shred them using two forks.

 

Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to mix  it in with the other ingredients. If you find that this is too runny for your liking, mix in a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste to thicken it up.
