How to Make Low Fat Chicken Curry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and nearly cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Add 1 large onion, chopped; 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped; 2 teaspoons garam masala; 2 cloves garlic, minced; and 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference). Stir-fry for 5 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half. Stir occasionally.
  4. Serve hot with plain boiled rice or naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
