Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
A comforting blend of rich spices and tender chicken that warms the soul. Its creamy texture and subtle sweetness make it a favorite in many Filipino households. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Step 1
Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of garlic salt, then sauté until everything smells amazing. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and sprinkle the curry powder over them. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it turns white, which should take about 5 minutes. Once the chicken is lightly browned, crumble in the chicken bouillon and toss in some thyme for extra flavor.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to cover the chicken, then add the potatoes. Let everything simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Finally, stir in the green bell pepper and cook for another 5 minutes so the flavors meld together. Serve warm and enjoy!
