- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

5. Simmer:
- Pour in the lime juice and mix well.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Finish and Serve:
- Once everything is well cooked and the flavors are fully combined, sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the goulash.
- Give it a final stir and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Chicken and Veggie Goulash with Lime and Herbs!

Tips:

- To ensure even cooking, cut the chicken breasts and vegetables into uniform pieces.

- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.

- For a thicker goulash, reduce the lime juice slightly and use more tomato paste.

- To add extra texture and flavor, consider garnishing with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving.

- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a chopped fresh chili pepper.

This chicken and veggie goulash with lime and herbs is not only packed with flavors but also boasts a healthy profile, making it an ideal choice for a balanced meal. The combination of tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and tangy lime juice creates a delightful culinary experience that you and your family will love.
