Curried Chicken Stir Fry With New Potatoes And Snow Peas Recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c. vegetable oil

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs

1/2 tsp. salt

tsp. Black pepper

1 tbsp. cumin seeds (optional)

1/2 small red onion

1 lb. large new potatoes

1 tbsp. garam masala or curry powder

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 c. snow peas

1/4 c. fresh cilantro or mint leaves

Lime wedges

Preparation

Step 1Put a couple tablespoons of oil in a large 12-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over high heat. When hot, quickly stir in chicken and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until it sears, just a minute or two. Continue cooking, stirring once or twice, until chicken has lost its pink color, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.Step 2Turn heat down to medium-high and add remaining oil to pan. When hot, add cumin seeds (if using), fry for 30 seconds, then add onion and potatoes. Add garam masala, along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring or tossing, until onion has caramelized and potatoes are lightly browned, about 10 minutes; potatoes need not be fully tender.Step 3Return chicken to pan along with snow peas and continue cooking and stirring for about 2 minutes, or until chicken is warmed through and snow peas are crisp-tender. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve garnished with cilantro or mint and lime wedges.
