Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix minced garlic, ginger, curry powder, smoked paprika, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or bowl. Pour marinade over the chicken and massage to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear marinated chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Sauté Onions: Remove chicken and add sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes) before returning the chicken to the pan.
  5. Simmer: Add half a cup of water or broth to the skillet. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Serve: Serve hot over rice or with warm flatbreads, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
