Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the goulash. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent burning.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Cook it until it's just done, otherwise it will become tough and dry.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water to the goulash.
Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
2. Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the zucchini, paprika, cumin, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Add the diced tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
5. Cover the pot and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
6. Serve the goulash hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
