Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 | Olive oil |
| 3 | Onions |
| 6 | Garlic cloves |
| 4 | Cinnamon sticks |
| 1/2 | Teaspoon ground cumin |
| 1 | Handful of fresh basil leaves |
| 1 | Cup peanuts |
| 2 | Tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated) |
| 1/2 | Teaspoon salt |
| 3 | Chicken breasts |
| 3/4 | Cup low-fat yogurt |
| To taste | Pepper |
Instructions:
- Heat Oil: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until they turn transparent and release their fragrance, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Spices: Stir in the jalapenos, cinnamon sticks, ground cumin, and torn basil leaves. Let the spices bloom in the oil for another 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate Nuts and Cheese: Toss in the peanuts and grated parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine with the aromatics.
- Introduce Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the pan. Make sure they are coated evenly with the aromatic mixture.
- Simmer: Pour in enough water to cover the chicken. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.
- Final Touch: Just before serving, stir in the low-fat yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Plate the Peruvian Garlic Chicken hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. Pair it with your favorite side dish like rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
