Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger. Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips and dice the zucchini into small cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink on the inside. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the turmeric powder, cumin powder, and paprika. Stir well to toast the spices for 1 minute.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir until the spices are fully incorporated. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and green peas to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet, and season the dish with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 5 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve The Peacock My Version over a bed of warm jasmine rice and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this colorful dish.
