Chicken Goulash
Report
American Goulash was a childhood staple in my household, so I had to make a healthier version of the comfort food. This Healthy Chicken Goulash Pasta is made with chicken instead of beef, plenty of veggies, and chickpea pasta.

Ingredients

- 1 lb ground chicken 92% lean**
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Prepare the pasta according to the box instructions. Once cooked, strain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a large pot/dutch oven to medium heat. Add the olive oil or cooking spray and add in the ground chicken. Then, add in Worcestershire sauce and diced white onion. Give everything a stir to get the cooking going. Use a meat masher to break up the chicken as it cooks.
- Next, dice your cherry tomatoes and add them into the pot.
- Then, pour in pasta sauce and stir. Mix well and ensure there are no chicken or veggie chunks stuck to the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat and place the lid on top of the pot and let the pot simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add the noodles into the pot and stir so they’re all covered. Allow the pasta to simmer for an additional 10 minutes on low heat.
- Add the shredded mozzarella 5 minutes prior to serving. We want it to melt into the pasta mixture and be super delicious. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store your Goulash Pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, microwave in 30-60 second intervals until sufficiently heated.
- We want the ground chicken to have some fat content. It will take this dish from just okay to freaking phenomenal. Do not use 99% lean in this recipe!
- I think ground beef or turkey would be a wonderful substitute. To make these vegetarian, you could use chickpeas or Impossible meat as well.
