Method

  1. Ensure that the chicken breast chunk meat is defrosted fully. The seasoning will stick and cook more evenly. Cut chicken into bite sized cubes.
  2. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, chicken base and curry powder, and mix together. Add the chicken and let marinate for 20 minutes.
  3. In a large heavy bottomed pot on medium heat, add half of the canola oil and saute the mushrooms, green peppers, zucchini, onions and peppers for 8-12 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove but leave the oil residue behind and reserve.
  4. To the same pot, add the last of part of the canola oil and reheat. Then add the marinated chicken. Stir fry for 7-9 minutes. Add the reserved vegetables and cooked rice to the chicken pot. Saute for another 5-7 minutes, stirring gently. Ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F (74 C).
