A chicken dish in Indian cuisine is usually an orange or red color, not green. However, this recipe uses the Indian spices and puts a twist on it by making it green. This is a very simple and very easy chicken dish that takes maybe half hour to make. I usually make this when I don't have much time and want something not too spicy or with salan in it. It has a very tangy and sour taste and goes great with naan or on top of plain rice. I even used it to make a sub-sandwich and it was delicious, just put some cheese on it and toast, and it's a gourmet sub! Here is what you will need: 1 boneless chicken breast, half a bunch of fresh cilantro leaves, 1 green chili pepper, half onion, ginger, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 lime, 2 tablespoon of yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.
Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and set aside. In a blender put cilantro, green chili, garlic, ginger, onion and blend until it becomes like a paste. Then add the salt, chili powder and cumin powder, squeeze lime juice and add the yogurt to it, then blend some more. In a pot or pan add the olive oil and the cumin seeds, when it is hot and the seeds are moving around, add the paste from the blender and mix, put the heat on medium, then add the chicken and mix it well until all the pieces are coated. Cook until the chicken is done. It should be fairly dry and not too oily. You can always adjust any of the stuff according to your taste. Enjoy._____________________
