Recipes were created in collaboration with Foods that Fight Cancer Program.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb Skinless, boneless chicken breast, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp. Lemon juice
1/2 cup 2% Plain Greek yogurt
1 small head Cauliflower
2 tbsps. Olive oil, divided
1/2 cup Onion, small diced
2 cloves Garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 tbsp. Ginger, peeled and grated
2 cups Okra, sliced into 1-inch pieces
3 tbsps. Garam masala seasoning – see Chef’s Tip
2 tsp. Turmeric
14 oz. Canned diced tomatoes
1 tsp. Salt, divided
1 tsp. Pepper, divided
1/4 cup Cilantro, roughly chopped
PROCEDURE
- Place the chicken, lemon juice, 1/3 cup yogurt, half of the garlic, half of the ginger, 1 tbsp. Garam masala, and 1 tsp. turmeric in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized pieces and pulse in food processor until you get a grain-like texture. Spread out the crumbled cauliflower onto the baking tray and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes or until tender, stirring once during baking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the remaining olive oil and onions. Cook for 5 minutes, until translucent, then add the remaining garlic and ginger. Continue to cook for 1 minute.
- Add the okra and chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Add remaining 2 tbsp. Garam masala, 1 tsp. turmeric, salt and pepper. Stir to coat the chicken and okra. Cook for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Add a splash of water if the pan gets too dry.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining yogurt.
- Serve immediately with cauliflower couscous.
NOTES: Look for Garam masala in the spice aisle of your local grocery store. If you want to add some heat, add a finely diced chilli pepper in step 3.
