Sweet & Spicy Indian Chicken Stew


Sweet & Spicy Indian Chicken Stew

A traditional dish from Southern India, this hearty stew gets its spicy flavor from the antioxidant Super Spices, curry powder and cayenne pepper, which are nicely balanced by the sweetness of the apple and raisins.
 Ingredient:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon McCormick® Curry Powder
1/8 teaspoon McCormick® Red Pepper, Ground
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (14 ounces) chicken broth
1 Granny Smith apple, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups cooked brown rice
Toasted sliced almonds (optional)

Method:

1. Heat oil in 3-quart saucepan on medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic powder; cook and stir 3 minutes.

2. Mix in chicken, curry powder and ground red pepper. Stir in tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes. Add apple and raisins; simmer 10 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.

3. Ladle stew into shallow soup bowls. Top each with 1/3 cup of brown rice. Garnish with almonds, if desired.
