Chicken Goulash: A Nutritious Twist on a Hungarian Classic

 Goulash, a beloved Hungarian dish, traditionally features beef or pork.  However, I prefer using chicken for a lighter and more nutritious version.  This recipe retains all the rich, hearty flavors you love while offering a healthier alternative.

Ingredients:

4 chicken legs, cut into chunks

5 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

2 bell peppers, cut into chunks

2 onions, chopped

2 tbsp oil

2 tbsp butter

3 garlic cloves, minced

Spices:

1 tsp each cumin, cloves, paprika, salt, and pepper

2 cans tomato, diced

2 cups chicken broth

2 bay leaves

Directions:

In a sauté pan, add oil and butter.  Add chicken and cook until chicken turns golden brown.  Remove chicken.

In the same pan, add garlic and onion.  Stir and cook for a few minutes, then add all the spice seasoning.

Add tomatoes and chicken broth, then return to the pan.  Adjust the seasoning at this point.  Cook for 15 minutes, then add potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes, then add bell pepper and cook for a few minutes or until potatoes are cooked.  

Once cooked, your dish will be beautifully fragrant and bursting with flavor.  Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Tips:

Feel free to experiment with this recipe.  You can omit the bell pepper and add button mushrooms, or even try other vegetables you prefer.
