Chicken Goulash

This is the BEST - definitely the #1 comfort food from my childhood. It is fairly simple, but is a terrific dish. The recipe for the homemade noodles is on this site as well, or you can substitute egg noodles too.

Ingredients:

1 chicken, cut into parts

2 medium onions, chopped

2 carrots, chopped plus 2 carrots halved

2 tablespoons paprika

2 potatoes, quartered

1 cup chicken stock

1 tablespoon tomato paste

Olive oil

Directions:

Pat chicken dry and lightly salt and pepper.

Heat 4-5 tablespoons oil in large pan over medium high heat. Brown chicken on all sides and remove from the pan.

If necessary, add a little extra olive oil and add onion and chopped carrots. Saute until soft and onions are translucent. Put chicken back into pan.

Add paprika to coat chicken, mix and let saute for a couple of minutes, taking care not to burn the paprika.

Add chicken stock and tomato paste, mix, bring to boil, cover and cook over low heat for 45 minutes. Add potatoes and carrot halves after 30 minutes.

Serve with homemade noodles or egg noodles.
