Creamy Garlic Chicken with Indian Curry

Ingredients:

·        5 frozen chicken breasts

·        1/2 cup minced garlic

·        3/4 stick of butter

·        2 cups water

·        1/4 tsp Indian curry powder

·        1/4 tsp ground ginger

·        Dash of salt

·        3 cups fresh greens (spinach, kale, or your choice)

·        1/2 cup milk (adjust to desired creaminess)

·        Dash of Adobo seasoning (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions:

1.     Thaw the Chicken:

·        If time permits, thaw the frozen chicken breasts in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can use the defrost function of your microwave to thaw them gently.

2.     Sear the Chicken:

·        In a large skillet or pan, melt 1/4 stick of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear each side until they get a golden-brown color. This helps to lock in the flavors and juices.

3.     Garlic Butter Sauce:

·        Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for a minute or until fragrant.

·        Add the remaining 1/2 stick of butter to the skillet and let it melt, creating a rich and creamy garlic butter sauce.

4.     Simmer the Chicken:

·        Pour 2 cups of water into the skillet, enough to partially submerge the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the Indian curry powder, ground ginger, and a dash of salt over the chicken.

·        Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer over medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

5.     Prepare the Greens:

·        While the chicken simmers, wash and prepare the fresh greens of your choice. If using large leafy greens like kale, tear them into smaller pieces.

6.     Finish with Milk:

·        Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

·        Stir in 1/2 cup of milk into the garlic butter sauce, creating a creamy and flavorful sauce that complements the chicken and greens.

7.     Add the Greens:

·        Toss the fresh greens into the creamy garlic sauce in the skillet. Cook them for a few minutes until they wilt and become tender.

8.     Serve and Enjoy:

·        Place the chicken breasts on a serving platter or individual plates.

·        Spoon the creamy garlic greens over the chicken, creating a mouthwatering and visually appealing dish.

·        If desired, sprinkle a dash of Adobo seasoning over the top for an extra burst of flavor.

·        Serve this delicious Creamy Garlic Chicken with Indian Curry alongside rice, pasta, or crusty bread, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Bon appétit!
