Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 14.5 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 ounces whole-grain egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until softened.
Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the pot, and cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the cooked chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
Add the whole-grain egg noodles to the pot, submerging them in the liquid. Cover the pot and let simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and fully cooked.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your healthy Chicken Noodle Goulash!
