Happy New Year!!
With the start of the New Year and a typical winter in Wisconsin, I wanted to share one of our favorite recipes. This recipe is delicious, healthy, and simple, in other words, it has all the elements of the White Jasmine philosophy. Additionally, our Sajji Masala with a strong chipotle flavor makes this recipe all the more flavorful. Enjoy!
There are two things here that may stand out to you that I like doing differently – first I always pan-sear my chicken after I season it. It locks in the flavor and once spices are dry roasted in the pan that way the flavor really compounds itself. Secondly, I chose to use our Sajji Masala – I wanted a spice blend that has a sweeter almost chipotle flavor and a touch of heat. The chicken is the star of this dish, all the flavors should be complimentary.
