Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ medium red bell pepper, diced
½ medium green bell pepper, diced
Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
Fresh cilantro and/or mint for garnish

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, ginger, serrano, tomato paste, turmeric, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Add chicken and increase heat to maintain a lively simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers and lemon (or lime) juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Garnish with cilantro and/or mint, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
