Chicken Fricassee in the Crock Pot

3-4 lbs chicken pieces, skin removed (you may use boneless, skinless)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
2 medium onions, sliced
3 stalks celery, sliced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 bay leaf
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup flour
½ cup water

1. Place vegetables and bay leaf in crock pot. Place chicken pieces on top and sprinkle with salt and paprika. Pour in broth. Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.

2. One hour before serving, turn to High. Remove chicken pieces and de-bone (if necessary), and return meat to crock pot. Make smooth paste of flour and water, and stir into liquid in crock pot. Cover and cook until thickened.

3. Serve over hot noodles; garnish with parsley. Serves 6-8.
