- 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
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.
- 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.
