A flavorful and aromatic chicken dish infused with fresh herbs and a zesty lemon kick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and place them in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, then remove and set aside.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Toast the spices briefly to enhance their flavors.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add water, lemon juice, and chopped green chili. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Cover the skillet to retain moisture and cook the chicken evenly.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Chop the coriander leaves just before serving to maintain their freshness.
