Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken breast cut into medium-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons Laajawab Hot & Sweet Chicken Rub
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil divided
- 1 onion diced
- 1 capsicum diced
- 1 tomato cut into cubes
- 2 green chillies cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cups water
- A dash of salt (to season the vegetables)
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Begin by cutting 1 whole chicken breast into medium chunks. Make sure the pieces are neither too large nor too small to cook and soak up all the flavours.
After you’ve readied the chicken, you’ll need to season it. In a bowl, combine the chicken chunks with:
- 1 tablespoon of cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons of Laajawab Hot & Sweet Chicken Rub
This spice rub makes the dish stand out and creates a perfect balance between heat and sweetness. Rub the mix and oil into the chicken to coat each piece well. Then, let the chicken sit for 10-15 minutes. This time allows the rub’s flavours to soak into the chicken giving it that unique Laajawab taste!
Step 2: Get the Vegetables Ready
As the chicken sits, prepare your vegetables. Cut one onion, one capsicum, and one tomato into small pieces. These veggies add great texture and go well with the chicken. You’ll also need to slice 2 green chillies to add extra spice.
Step 3: Stir-fry the Vegetables
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. When the oil gets hot, toss in the diced onions. Cook them for a minute until they turn clear and begin to smell sweet.
Then, throw the diced capsicum into the pan with the onions. Mix the veggies together and let them cook for a couple more minutes. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on top—just enough to season the vegetables. The Laajawab Hot & Sweet Chicken Rub will take care of flavouring the chicken. The capsicum will get a bit softer but still keep some crunch.
Step 4: Cook the Marinated Chicken
The chicken has now soaked up all the tasty flavours from the Laajawab rub. It’s time to cook the marinated chicken. Put the chicken pieces into the pan with the cooked vegetables and mix everything together.
Cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes. The hot pan will brown the chicken trapping the flavours from the rub and giving the chicken a nice golden colour. You’ll smell the aroma of the Laajawab rub in your kitchen at this point—it’s spicy, sweet, and makes your mouth water!
Step 5: Add Tomatoes and Soy Sauce
Once the chicken is cooked, add the diced tomatoes. Mix them into the dish and let the tomatoes soften a bit bringing a fresh and tart taste to the meal.
After around 2 minutes, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. This will make the flavours richer, giving the dish a savoury umami boost. Mix everything well, so the soy sauce covers the chicken and veggies .
Step 6: Add Water and Simmer
Next, add 2 cups of water. This helps to create a tasty sauce for the chicken to cook in. Turn down the heat to a simmer and put a lid on the pan. Let the chicken cook in the sauce for about 10 minutes. This step is key because it makes the chicken tender and allows it to soak up more flavour from the sauce and the Laajawab rub.
Step 7: Serve Hot
The Chilli Chicken is ready when the chicken cooks through and the sauce thickens a bit! This dish wows with its mix of soft chicken crunchy veggies, and bold, spicy-sweet tastes from Laajawab Hot & Sweet Chicken Rub. Serve it hot with steamed rice, fried rice or flatbreads, and see your family or guests eat up this tasty meal !
