Chicken Goulash in a Slow Cooker
Tender chicken goulash works as both a hearty stew and a main dish. It's delicious over mashed potatoes, and just as good with rice, grains, or pasta. How you cut the vegetables isn't critical—just keep the pieces no bigger than the meat. And you don't have to stick with chicken breast; any part of the bird works. Instead of tomato paste you can use tomato juice or ripe fresh tomatoes. Always cut vegetables and raw meat on separate boards. Using cream instead of water makes the meat noticeably more tender. Feel free to stir in any fresh herbs and adjust the spices to your taste.

- Start by setting your slow cooker to the "sauté" (frying) setting and letting about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil heat up in it. While that's heating, get everything else ready. First, peel the onion and carrot, then rinse and pat them dry and cut them up. Once the oil is hot, add the vegetables and cook for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the chicken breast into slabs about 1 to 1.5 cm thick, then cut those into strips. Add the meat to the pot and keep cooking, stirring often so nothing sticks to the bottom. Between stirs, whisk together the flour, water, and cream into a smooth slurry, then pour it into the pot. Cut the tomatoes into thin wedges and add them right after the slurry. Season with salt and pepper to taste, switch to the "stew" (slow-cook) setting, and let it simmer for about half an hour.
