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!
