Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 14 ounces Canned unsweetened diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (low-fat, unsweetened)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 small Green chili, finely chopped (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, and sear them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and paprika. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and stir to combine well with the spices.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, placing them in the tomato and spice mixture. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

Step 7

Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.

Step 8

Add the chopped fresh cilantro and, if desired, the finely chopped green chili for added spice.

Step 9

Serve the Diabetic Bombay Chicken immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if preferred. Pair it with steamed vegetables, cauliflower rice, or quinoa for a low-glycemic meal.
