Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring continually for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the low-fat yogurt, chicken broth, and salt, making sure the chicken is coated in the mixture.
Step 8
Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve the curried chicken with lime wedges on the side.
