How to Make Curry Chicken With Pearl Onions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side).
  2. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to cool slightly. Once cool, slice thinly.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1 cup pearl onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of green chili paste, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of your favorite curry powder. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  4. Cook until the onions are translucent and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/2 cup dry white wine.
  6. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve hot over rice or naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
