Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Bell peppers
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 1 large Green chili
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the onion and bell peppers into thin strips. Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the green chili. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chili to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are opaque and lightly browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric. Cook the spices with the chicken for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.

Step 7

Add the diced tomatoes, bell peppers, and salt. Stir everything together and let it cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt. Mix well until the yogurt is fully incorporated, creating a creamy sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle with garam masala and black pepper. Stir to combine and allow the flavors to meld for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve hot with steamed rice or warm naan.
