CHICKEN GOULASH
Mouth-watering Hungarian goulash brimming over with chicken, onions and mushrooms. Paprika gives color and adds a spicy bite to the dish. Goulash originated in Hungary, and one of its most important ingredients is paprika which, together with tomatoes, produces a rich, deep red sauce. The best paprika still comes from Hungary, where it is produced in varieties that range from mild to very hot. Caraway seeds are added for texture and to help give the sauce its characteristic flavour. Traditionally, goulash is made with veal or pork, but it is adaptable to most meats, particularly chicken. Serve with baked or mashed potatoes and steamed green vegetables, such as cabbage and green beans.

Steps:
- Remove the skins from the chicken thighs. Heat a little of the skin in a nonstick frying pan and add the chicken.
- Cook over a medium heat for about 15 minutes, until well browned on all sides.
- Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop the onions. Remove the chicken from the frying pan, discard the skin, and pour away all but 1 tablespoon of fat.
- Cook the onions in the pan with the paprika and caraway seeds for about 3 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then add the chicken. Cover the pan and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
- Remove the lid and reduce the liquid to a sauce consistency by fast boiling for 5 - 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Then sprinkle with the freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
CHICKEN AND PUMPKIN GOULASH
I needed to use up some chicken, and we had been given a lot of pumpkins...so I began to look for a recipe which would take advantage of my ingredients. However, everything I found was quite spicy and knew would not go over well with my grandchildren. I then came across a recipe which seemed to have promise, and used it as the basis for creating this...a new family favorite! I hope you enjoy as much as my family did.

Steps:
- Set a slow cooker to High, and place diced tomatoes and brown sugar into the cooker; stir to combine.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir onion until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Mix in the ginger, cinnamon, cumin, and coriander; cook and stir until the spices release their fragrance, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken, and cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink. Mix the garbanzo beans into the chicken mixture, and bring to a simmer. Transfer the mixture into the slow cooker, and mix with tomatoes.
- Place pumpkin into the same skillet, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until the pumpkin is hot and some pieces are slightly browned, about 10 minutes, stirring often. Place pumpkin into the cooker, and cover.
- Cook the stew on the High setting for 1 hour; reduce cooker setting to Low, and cook until pumpkin is tender, 3 to 4 more hours. Season with salt and black pepper. If stew seems too liquid, mix cornstarch into water in a small cup until smooth, and stir the slurry into the stew. Cook until thickened, about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN GOULASH WITH PAPRIKA
Steps:
- Brown the chicken thighs in veg. oil for 10min in a dutch oven, add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the chicken from the dutch oven and add diced onion, garlic, and bacon. Heat for few minutes until fragrant then add tomato paste and paprika. Mix well to combine. Add the chicken back to the dutch oven and combine with the mixture. Add red bell pepper cut into cubes. Remove seeds from the tomatoes, dice, and add to the pot too. Cook for 1 hour mixing couple times. You can add water or chicken stock if you think there is not enough sauce. I like the goulash thick, so I increase the burner to medium for the last 10-15 minutes to get rid of some moisture.
