Dry Chili Chicken!!!


I purchased some chicken breasts from the store the other day. My husband is not too fond of grilling it, so I decided to try making something quick from the chicken breasts. I tried making dry chili chicken and it came out YUMMY!!! The proof is not only my husband's compliment but also from my collegue who just loved it !! :)

You will need:

1/2 pound chicken breasts cut into small retangular pieces.
1 diced green bell pepper
1 finely chopped green chili
1 tbsp choped garlic
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp all purpose flour (maida)
1 egg
2 medium onions diced
2 tsp soya sauce
1 tsp pepper powder
2 tsp chicken tikka masala ( store bought )
1/4 cup yogurt
salt to tatse

Method:

Take a large bowl and mix in all purpose flour, corn flour, egg, pepper powder, chicken tikka masala, yogurt, chopped garlic, soya sauce and salt to taste. Use this mixture to marinate the chicken pieces and keep it aside for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Take a pan and heat 2 tsp olive oil. Shallow fry the marinated chicken pieces until it is 3/4 cooked and keep it aside.

In the same pan, add 1 tsp olive oil, diced onions and saute it till it turns golden brown. Now add the diced bell pepper and cook it for about a minute. Add the cooked chicken pieces and mix well and cook it for another 5 minutes until the chicken is completely done ( you should be able to cut the pieces in the pan with the spatula). Add salt if needed. ( you could add buffalo wing sauce or even texas pete sauce for color and a little flavor if needed ).

Dry chili chicken is ready to be relished !!!!!!
