Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast or tenders, chopped into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon garam or chicken masala
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic paste
- 1/2 tablespoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons dry coriander powder (optional)
- 1 cup finely diced, onion
- 1 cup finely diced, fresh tomato
- 3 cups diced, bell peppers (colors of choice)
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- red chili powder
- salt
- .5 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- oil
-
In a large skillet heat a generous amount of oil. Add the jeera seeds and let them pop. Immediately add the chopped chicken.
-
Add garam masala, salt, and turmeric to the chicken and cook for about 7-10 minutes on med-high heat. SIDE NOTE: You can use just this cooked chicken as a meal! It tastes great and we sometimes enjoy it on tacos. But for this full recipe continue the following steps.
-
Remove the chicken from the pan into a bowl/plate, cover, and set aside. COVER will help keep the chicken moist. Side-note: you can use a different pot, but I use the same one because I really don't like doing dishes.
-
Add some oil and onions to the pan. Cook until slightly brown and then add the tomatoes. Mix well
-
Now add garlic, ginger, salt, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Additional garam masala and turmeric can be added at this point if you would like.
-
Cook the mixture until oil begins to separate and it's cooked thoroughly.
-
Add the chicken to the pot and mix well. Once the chicken is heated well and you see bubbles in the pot lower the heat to the lowest setting.
-
Top the pot with bell pepper and green onions. Cover with a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes.
-
Add cilantro and mix the contents.
-
Serve with rice, bread, naan, tortilla, or on top of a salad. This dish is great for meal prepping!
