Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ medium red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ medium green bell pepper, diced
  • juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
  • fresh cilantro and/or mint for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, ginger, serrano, tomato paste, turmeric, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Add chicken and increase heat to maintain a lively simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers and lemon (or lime) juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Garnish with cilantro and/or mint, if desired.
