Instructions
- In a large skillet, add some olive oil over medium high heat. Add the halved Marinaded Chicken breasts. Cook without moving for 4-6 minutes before flipping. Finish cooking the other side for another 4-6 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken breasts and reserve for Chicken Burgers.
- While cooking, start the Pilau rice in a medium sauce pan with lid. Add the butter to the pan over medium high heat. Once melted, add the Diced Onion. Cook about 5 minutes until softened. Get together the cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, turmeric, and bay leaves in a small bowl while the onion is cooking. After 5 minutes, add the spices and let cook for a minute before adding the rice. Coat the rice with the spices and then add the water/chicken stock. Bring to a boil before putting a lid on and simmering for 12-15 minutes. Fluff and remove the cardamom pods and bay leaves (if you can find them). Reserve 1/2 the rice for Salmon Bowls.
- Once the Marinaded Chicken breasts have been removed, add the butter to the large skillet over high heat. Add the Sliced Peppers and Sliced Onion. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, until softened some. Remove to a plate. Add the chicken chunks to the pan (add more butter if needed). Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the Jalfrezi Spices and minced garlic. After a minute, add the cooked peppers and onions back, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to bring it to a simmer for about 10 minutes, until thickened.
- Serve the Chicken Jalfrezi over the Pilau rice with Cilantro.
