Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless (500 g)
  • 2 peppers
  • 1 (14 oz) can of diced tomatoes (400 g)
  • 3 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 2 small onions (or 1 large)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • salt, pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start by preparing your ingredients. Slice the onions, and dice the peppers and chicken into bite sized pieces. Grate or finely chop the garlic.
  • Heat up a little oil in a pot, and cook the chicken until it's browned all over, and almost cooked through. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
  • To the empty pot, add peppers and onions, and sauté these for a few minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent. Add grated garlic and paprika, and sauté for another 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Notes

  • Make sure to cook the chicken through completely. Undercooked chicken is not safe to eat.
  • Leave some time for the ingredients to cook together at the end. This is a key step to allow all the flavors to blend together.
  • Remember to add salt and pepper to taste towards the end, or the dish might be a little bland.
  • Leftover chicken goulash stores well in a sealed container in a refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 6 months. Defrost and reheat the dish before serving.
