Here is chicken stir fry I make very often. Its a breeze when you have a large wok/saute pan. Tender chicken usually cooks pretty fast. High heat saute and then a low simmer, you are done in 15-20 minutes.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15-20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 lb whole chicken, cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- 2 tsp ginger, minced
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper powder
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp jeera/cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
- 3 cups red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 cup cilantro/coriander leaves, finely chopped
- Salt to taste, about 1 - 1 and 1/2 tsp
- Dash of fresh lime juice
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- In a wok or large sauté pan on medium heat, add olive oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, turn the heat to high and add the chicken pieces.
- Sauté on high heat for 6 to 8 minutes until they turn light brown. Add minced ginger, garlic and salt.
- Sauté for a few minutes until you can smell the aroma of ginger and garlic. Lower the heat to a simmer. Add in the powdered spices. Sauté for a few minutes.
- Throw in the onions and cilantro. Toss on high for about 2-4 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add a dash of fresh lime juice. Serve hot, enjoy!
