Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound (450g) chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a dairy-free version
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Optional: Crusty bread or rice for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the base: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Cook the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Simmer the sauce: Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cream and peas: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option) and frozen peas. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Garnish and serve: Once everything is well combined and the chicken is fully cooked, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve with rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
