A super easy chicken dinner option that always gets rave reviews from family and friends, chicken goulash recipe with diced chicken and sliced peppers in a rich tomato sauce flavoured with paprika.
Simple and easy, these Chicken Goulash are made in one pan, and ready in about 20-30 minutes! Packed with bold and rich flavors, this is a great weeknight dinner idea.
Chicken Goulash
It’s certainly not an authentic goulash recipe (you won’t find chicken goulash in Hungary – it’s usually made with beef or pork), but making it with chicken means a lower cooking time and a healthier stew. It’s super flavourful and easy to make in one pot for a hearty, comforting weeknight dinner.
Sometimes you just need a nice comforting stew for dinner. For you, it may be just another dish that makes you feel warm and full after a long day.
How to make Chicken Goulash
I use boneless chicken thighs to make this chicken goulash with mushrooms but chicken breast is also a good choice.
Seasonings for chicken thighs – Oil, Salt, Black Pepper, Chili, Coriander, Paprika.
Vegetable or Olive Oil – for seasoning and frying.
Bellpeppers – I like to use a mixture of red and green peppers, but you could use any colour peppers you like.
Mushrooms – chopped
Onion – peeled, and finely chopped.
Garlic — Freshly chopped or minced garlic is best here.
Passata – I like smoother sauces so use passata, but substitute with chopped tomatoes if you like your sauces chunkier in texture.

INSTRUCTIONS
Place chicken thighs in a bowl and seasoning with Oil, Salt, Black Pepper, Chili, Coriander, Paprika.
Chop Mushrooms, bell peppers and Onions
Add to the skillet oil and brown chicken thighs on both sides, about 7 minutes per side. You need your heat on medium-high and a good quality pan that the chicken will not stick.
Mince garlic cloves, add onions, and fry everything together for 5 minutes or until it gets nice and fragrant.
Add the chopping bell peppers to the pot and saute them for 6 minutes. Next, add the mushrooms and continue to cook for another 9 minutes.
Next add tomato passata, salt and cook for 6 min
Sprinkle with parsley and serve!
