CHICKEN PAPRIKASH

4 Chicken breast or thighs

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 Tbsp flour

2 tsp olive oil

2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

1 bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 onion, cut into wedges

1 tsp minced garlic

1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes

1 lemon, sliced

4 tsp sweet or hot, Hungarian paprika

1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives  (we left those out)

Season chicken with salt and pepper in a bowl.  Add flour, tossing chicken to coat; shake to remove excess.  Heat oil in saute pan over medium-high.  Add chicken to pan; sear just until browned, 3 minutes on each side.

Combine carrots, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in a 3 to 3 1/2 quart slow cooker; place chicken on top of chicken. Place a slice of lemon on each piece of chicken.

Combine tomatoes and paprika in a small bowl, pour over chicken in slow cooker.

Cover and cook until chicken is fork tender, on low heat setting for 4-5 hours.
