Sweet Chicken 65





I was introduced to this dish originally by my friend Rabiya, and I often crave it! It is traditionally an Indian hyderabadi dish, and there are different ways of making it. I also added my own 'sweet' twist to it, I hope no one gets offended, but it was delicious!

WHAT YOU NEED (Serves 4)

STEP 1
1 Chicken breast cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Oil for frying
BREADING (Use same as Jalapeno Poppers without the herbs)

STEP 2
1 Medium Onion Chopped
2-5 Green chillies finely chopped (depends how spicy you want it)
3 garlic chopped finely
1 tspn of crushed red pepper
1 tspn dry bay leaves
4 coves

STEP 3
1/4 cup of yogurt
1 tbsp of honey
1/4 cup of dried cranberries
Red Food Coloring
1 tspn Curry Powder
1 tspn Garam Masala Powder
1 tspn Coriander Powder
1 tspn Cumin Powder
1 tspn Ginger Powder


LET'S GET STARTED

1) Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Put cranberries in a bowl of water.
2) Bread the chicken and start frying.
3) In the meantime, stir fry all ingredients in STEP 2 then put aside.
4) Once done frying the chicken, add them to the onion mixture an on medium-low heat. Mix well.
5) Switch to high heat, and add all ingredients in STEP 3.
6) Keep tossing the chicken, until all the ingredients mix well, and keep it on high heat, so the chicken stays crunchy. Add salt as needed

Squeeze some lemon juice before serving, and add some green onions or chillies on top. Serve with rice.

TIPS: For moms, and those who don't like to spend time in the kitchen: DO 1) & 3) in the morning, and just store the chicken in the fridge. When you start breading, use at least 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of breadcrumbs, be very generous! This will make breading easier and quicker!

Enjoy!
