How to Make Peruvian Garlic Chicken
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 4 cloves garlic, minced, until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add 2-3 jalapeños, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (roughly chopped), 1/2 cup shredded cheese (e.g., queso fresco or cheddar), and 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients and coat the chicken evenly.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
- Just before serving, stir in 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt. Serve immediately with boiled potatoes.
