Marinated Chicken

Optional (Paneer Substitute)

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Dish

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sliced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

  4. 6

    Add Gobi

    Add the cauliflower florets (gobi) to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  5. 7

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Serve the chili chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy!
