Currently cooking from The Best Simple Recipes from America’s Test Kitchen
Here’s another fast, easy recipe from “the best cookbook I’ve ever bought” that delivers on flavor without a huge amount of work. It doesn’t look all that appetizing, but it is good.
You start out by browning chunks of chicken breast. Next, you cook an onion until soft, then stir in garam masala (an Indian spice mix), garlic, ginger and diced tomatoes. To finish the dish, a bit of cream is stirred into the skillet, along with the chicken, and the whole thing simmers for about 5 minutes.
Tasted by itself, this dish was almost too gingery, but it calmed down when eaten with rice. The chicken was very moist and flavorful, and leftovers were just as good.
A new and interesting chicken dish is always welcome. I’m thinking I should just give up and buy this cookbook. I think I’ve wanted to try every recipe that you’ve written about. It sounds like a quick dish. I’ll keep you posted on this one.
