CHICKEN GOULASH



Chicken Goulash image

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.

PAPRIKA CHICKEN GOULASH



Paprika Chicken Goulash image

My family enjoys this pasta dish as a change from the typical tomato sauce. It is a great way to use up left over chicken (or turkey) and the use of short pasta is easy for smaller kids to manage. You can add a quarter cup of sour cream or yogurt when you add the cooked pasta to the sauce if you want to add a little zip.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH I



Hungarian Goulash I image

A spicy way to dress up stew beef. My mom made this when we were kids, and we loved it. It is spicy while not mouth-burning! Can be made with cheaper cuts of beef, and comes out very tender. If it gets too thick, add a little water while it's cooking. Garnish with sour cream.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA

My whole family, full of picky eaters, loves this dish, and it's great for freezing and reheating on a cold day or for an easy dinner on cold nights. This dish comes out as more like a stew than a meat with a sauce. Serve over egg noodles or hot cooked rice. Goes great with fresh, crusty pumpernickel bread for hearty winter meal. Easy to make and can be kept on low heat on the stove for lengthy parties.

Steps:

  • Cube the chicken and carrots and dice the onions, peppers,garlic and leek. Saute until the chicken is lightly browned.
  • Add the mixture to a casserole dish. Finely chop the chillies and add, along with the tinned tomatoes, caraway seeds, paprika and cayenne pepper.
  • Make up the chicken stock. Stir in the worcester sauce and tomato puree.
  • Pour the chicken stock mixture into the casserole dish and give a quick stir.
  • Bake in the oven at 180 degrees C, or 160 degrees C in a fan oven or Gas Mark 4.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a Dutch oven or large pot with a heavy bottom. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the goulash from sticking.
  • Brown the chicken in batches if necessary. Don't overcrowd the pot, or the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Be sure to add the paprika to the hot oil before adding the chicken. This will help to release the paprika's flavor.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the goulash.
  • Add the vegetables to the pot in stages. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Simmer the goulash for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the goulash over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Chicken goulash is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give chicken goulash a try.
