Baked Chicken Fry

Lowfat chicken fry / Baked chicken fry

I love to experiment different cuisines with a touch of Indian to it. This is a dish that always turns out great with no hassle, no mess yet healthy and tasty.

Cooking is fun for me and I love to do it, but cleaning the dishes latter on is no fun at all. Even though I have a  dish washer, we have to rinse them before loading and besides it is not recommended to clean my hard anodized cook ware in dish washer( it reduces the life), so I always end up cleaning them my selves which is not that fun.

Simply, my very own reason to adore these kinds of one dish recipes, where I can put the ingredients together and stick it in the oven, is to reduce the after cooking cleaning.

Ingredients-

• 1 lb Chicken breast pieces
• 1 big ladle or 5 tbsp of Curd.
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 1 tbsp coriander powder
• ½ tbsp cumin powder
• 2 tbsp Chili powder.
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder.
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp Salt or to taste.
• 1 tbsp Oil.
• 1 bell pepper chopped into cubes
• 2 dry red chilies

Directions-

1. Preheat oven to 400 Degree F.
2. Clean and cut the chicken breast to 1 inch sizes.
   Add breast pieces into a baking tray. To this, add curd, ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, cumin powder, chili powder, turmeric powder and a juice of 1 lemon and a tbsp of oil. Mix all of them well so that the chicken is coated with the spices.
3. Cover this baking tray with an aluminum foil. Put this tray into the preheated oven and let it cook for 30 – 40 min.
4. When all the water is gone and the chicken is cooked all the way through, take it out of the oven. At this point we can eat it. but I jazzed it a little bit.
5. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet, add dry red chilies, green bell pepper and sauté it for 2 min, ads ½ tsp salt and sauté it for a min.( you can add more veggies like red bell pepper, zuchinni, snap peas and more to add more crunch)
6. Add baked chicken breast pieces and sauté them for another min. Adjust the seasoning and add little more lemon for that fajitha taste.
7. Enjoy this as it is or goes well with rice or roti. The best way to enjoy it is to wrap it in a roti, tastes awesome.
8. The left over can be used to make chicken puff.( I will post this one day)
