Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cut into wedges lime
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring continually for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook the spices with the onion mixture for another 1-2 minutes to enhance their flavor.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the low-fat yogurt, chicken broth, and salt, making sure the chicken is coated in the mixture.
Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve the curried chicken with lime wedges on the side.
Pair the dish with cooked brown rice or a side salad to enjoy a complete, nutritious meal.
