Ingredients

1 Pound Chicken
1 Large Head Broccoli
1 Onion
5 Cloves Garlic
2 Inches Ginger
1 Heaping Tablespoon Turmeric
1 Teaspoon Cumin
1/2 Teaspoon Chile Powder
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Lemon

Directions

1Slice the onions into strips. Slice the chicken also into strips. Cut the broccoli into bite size chunks
2Mince the garlic and ginger together into one chunky paste.
3Saute the onions in the butter until softened. 5 minutes.
4Add the Ginger and Garlic Paste. Cook 1 minute
5Add the Spices. Cook 1 minute
6Add the chicken and broccoli and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the broccoli has reached your desired texture. Add the juice from the lemon and mix.
7Serve over rice.
8EDIT - Some people noted that this recipe is too dry. It isn't meant to be overflowing with sauce by any means, but if you use the right amount of butter I don't think dryness should be an issue. However, if you feel that it needs to have more sauce, feel free to add chicken stock or coconut milk as suggested in the comments.

I would use coconut oil instead of butter.

Used this as inspiration for leftover ground turkey breast. Didn't use broccoli. Made a wonderful wrap with the meat/spice/onion mixture and julienned red and yellow peppers on a spinach wrap. Delicious and so healthful!

Add coconut milk if too dry. And please dont' add Thyme. You're confusing Eastern cusine with European.

I agree, VERY dry. Added sesame oil, substituted asparagus for the broccoli, and garnished with toasted sesame seeds...YUMMY!!!

My grandfather suffers from gout, and has many dietary restrictions. So I've been looking for recipes that contain ingredients that may help ease the pain, but also won't cause inflammation. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I can't wait to try it!

adding thyme or even substiting it for cumin is another sugg. If not enough liquid, sarah, just add some water. I added water, brought mixture to boil and cooked red lentils in the mixture. Add some some brown rice with the quick-cooking red lentils for a full protien.

I didn't feel like there was enough liquid to adequately cook the broccoli. Wasn't my kind of dish I suppose
