INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1/4 small Yellow Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and pat dry.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with turmeric, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
Dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
Heat the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it becomes soft and translucent.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and let it cook for about 1 minute to deepen the flavor.
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
Pour in the light coconut milk and reduce heat to low, letting the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Stir in the pre-cooked quinoa to incorporate extra texture and nutrients. Heat through for an additional 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
