Extra Herbs Prague Goulash Style with Chicken
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Begin by chopping the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and seasoning them lightly with salt.
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the pot, mixing them in to incorporate with the sautéed onions and garlic.
- Next, add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them lightly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the tomato paste, sweet paprika, caraway seeds, marjoram, thyme, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their fragrance.
- Pour in the chicken broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes. The goulash should thicken, and the chicken should be tender.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary. If you prefer a thicker goulash, you may blend a portion of it until smooth and return it to the pot.
- Once cooked, let the goulash rest for 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
- Serve the goulash warm in deep bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and a dollop of sour cream if desired, alongside crusty bread.

Notes
If you want a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika.
This goulash pairs beautifully with crusty bread for dipping.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month.
Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed to bring it back to the desired consistency.
