Chicken Saagwala! Say what?


The first person to pronounce this name correctly is my HERO! On a scale of 1-10......I would easily give it an 8+! I would probably use a hotter curry next time around! I love HOT!

Chicken Saagwala

NI: 244 calories, 10g fat, 6g fiber
Servings: 4 (1 1/2c)per serving. (I disagree with this measurement) Not enough for 4x the 1.5 cups. That being said..it is enough!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tsp mild curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
10 ounces baby spinach
1/4c water
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

Combine 1 tbsp of the oil, the ginger, garlic, curry, coriander, and cumin in a large nonstick skiller; cook over medium hat, stirring occasionally, until the spices are toasted and fragrant, 2-3 minutes.

Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil and the chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat. Add the tomatoes; cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Sttir in the spinach, in batches, if necessary; cover and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the water, cilantro and salt, cook 1 minute.

Serve over basmati rice; 1/c cooked rise will increase points value by 2 if using brown rice.
