Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the chicken breast and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it for 30 minutes. Chop the onion, tomato, bell pepper, and cilantro, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are translucent.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  3. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, turmeric, coriander powder, and garam masala. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.

  4. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the chopped tomato and sliced bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and water is absorbed.

  6. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Once both the chicken mixture and rice are done, fluff the rice with a fork and serve it on a plate. Top with the chicken mixture and garnish with chopped cilantro.
