I've been experimenting with recipes trying to add some diversity to my dinners. So I decided the best way to keep track of things (and share wonderful recipes with you lovely folk) was to post them here!
So here's Recipe #1:
Chicken Masala
2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup condensed cream of chicken
1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons masala seasoning (I made my own: 1 part each of cumin, curry, ginger, coriander, chili, and garlic)
cayenne pepper (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
desired vegetables (I used two carrots, a bell pepper, and cup of peas)
couscous (I used quinoa instead)
Cover chicken with flour (shaking in a bag works great). In large
skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts on both
sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Add onion and garlic to
skillet and saute until soft. Add tomatoes, coconut milk, cream of
chicken, spices, and vegetables to the skillet (if using peas, don't add
until end). Bring mixture to boil then reduce heat. Add the browned
chicken and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add peas or any other soft vegetable. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve hot over couscous (or quinoa).
Unfortunately, I do not have a picture to show how wonderful this turned out. But my fiance and two of my friends swear it was absolutely delicious.
Enjoy! :-)
