Instructions

Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces to enhance the absorption of the flavors. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking, until both the chicken and vegetables are tender.
5
At the end of the cooking time, add the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala to the skillet. Increase the heat to bring the dish to a boil once more, then reduce the heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors beautifully.
