Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
1/2 pound white mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 2/3 palm full
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup sour cream or reduced fat sour cream
Handful chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 package fresh gnocchi, in refrigerated section of market, 12 to14 ounces
2 tablespoons chives

Directions

Heat the extra-virgin olive oil and butter in a large, deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken. Brown the meat 3 to 4 minutes, push it off to the sides of the pan then add mushrooms, garlic, onions and peppers to the center of the pan. Cook the vegetables 5 minutes then mix them together with chicken and season with smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Stir in stock and tomato sauce and bring to a bubble. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 5 minutes then stir in sour cream and turn off heat. Add parsley. Adjust seasonings, to your taste.

While chicken goulash cooks, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Salt boiling water and cook gnocchi until they puff up like pillows and float, 5 minutes or to package suggestions. Drain gnocchi and add to chicken just after you stir in the sour cream.

Ladle goulash with gnocchi into shallow bowls and garnish with chives.

Goulash
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Keep in mind that what americans think of as goulash and traditional goulash are not the same. Hungarian Goulash is made... with a good deal of paprika. If you are thinking american goulash this recipe is not that. I enjoyed the recipe but I find I always have to add a bit more to RR's recipes. I think it is a regional thing. Best thing is to know your tastes and that of your family and adjust accordingly. If using an ingredient you aren't use to I would experiment first so you know how little (or lot) to use.Read more

Pretty Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last night for the first time for my in-laws. We did like it though I expected it to be a little thicker, not... that that was necessarily a bad thing. The sauce was delicious and very rich. The only thing that I might change next time is using a different meat than the ground chicken. The meat was a little dry and didn't seem to soak up the sauce as much as I would have liked. All in all I would recommend it, especially if you like gnocchi as much as we do!Read more

Yummo!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thanks Rachael! This was a great weekday quick & easy. I used what i had on hand so -- ground beef instead of chicken, beef... stock, regular paprika & tomato paste to keep it nice & thick. I did add a little extra paprika like others mentioned, i also drained out a little of the oil/fat after cooking the beef. My boyfriend loved it, he even added a little more sour cream & said it keep it tasting fresh. I will for sure make again but next time a little more of the veggies!Read more

I've had better, sorry Rach
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe didn't have a lot of flavor and I was very disappointed. I loved goulash when I was a kid and was hoping that... this would stand up to what I had. While I still love Rachael and her recipes, I wouldn't make this one again. The flavors were flat and just didn't pop.Read more

you need to really love smoked flavor
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

We usually love Rachael's recipes, but this one was just NOT for us. Cubed chicken rather than use ground, used 6oz tomato... paste instead of sauce. Smelled VERY strong after the first teaspoon of smoked paprika (new bottle - maybe older spices mellow?). That was too much for our taste, although a bit better by adding 1 Tb fresh lemon juice to cut the smoked flavor and brighten the dish a bit. Edible for the 2 adults, all 3 teens ate the gnocchi separately - would definately not make again.Read more

Foud a Way to Boost the Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used shredded meat from a 3 or 4 pound rotisserie chicken from the deli section at the grocery store in place of the ground... chicken. Using slow cooked chicken in big, shredded chunks really enhanced the flavor & texture of the dish. In the future I would spread one chicken over a double batch. I would also use one or two additional cloves of garlic, more mushrooms, and crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. It's definitely worth it to find & use smoked paprika as it lends a lot of depth to the overall flavor. Really ymmy!!!Read more
