Ingredients

  • 1 Onion (Diced)

  • 6-7 Cloves Garlic (Minced)

  • 1 tsp Ginger (Minced)

  • Non Stick Cooking Spray

  • 2 Bell Peppers (Chopped)

  • 3 Cups Cauliflower (Chopped)

  • 2 1/2 - 3 lbs Chicken Breast (Cut Into Cubes)

  • 2 Jars of Trader Joes Masala Simmering Sauce

  • Chicken Stock (1/4 - 1/2 Cup)

  • 1/2 Tbsp Garlic Powder

  • 1/2 Tbsp Dried Onion Powder

  • 1 tsp Chili Powder

  • Juice from 1 Lemon (Or to Taste)

  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

  • Cilantro (Garnish)

Directions

  1. Spray large stock pot with some organic non-stick cooking spray and sweat onion, garlic and ginger. Add a pinch of salt to sweat them faster.

  2. When onion, garlic and ginger are translucent and fragrant, add in chicken and brown, but not cook through.

  3. Add in bell peppers and cauliflower and stir-fry a bit. Add spices and salt and pepper to taste and stir to incorporate into chicken and veggies.

  4. Add the 2 jars of Masala Simmering Sauce, stir and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot to incorporate into the sauce.

  5. Add in chicken stock if the sauce is too thick. The more you add, the thinner the sauce will be become. So this is a matter of preference.

  6. Let simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are cooked through. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Add in lemon juice and stir.

  7. At the very end of the cooking time, add in the cilantro and stir. Enjoy over hot steamed basmati rice or cauliflower rice.
