Here's my colorful take on the classic Hungarian dish, goulash. It's typically made with beef, but when I was coming up with this, I was really in the mood for something lighter. And chicken sounded great with these ingredients. Don't worry though, it still cooks up to be a super hearty, comfort food dinner. Plus it's so easy. Oh, how I love easy. I make it in my slow cooker, which I'm totally in love with. The ultimate in "dump the ingredients in and voila!" cooking. No need to sauté anything beforehand. Just chop, cook and eat!
YIELD 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Simplest ever. Get all your ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for about 3 hours
2. Near the end (around the last half hour), use a fork to break up the chicken, stir it in and allow to cook a bit more and soak up the yumminess
