Lemon Pepper Chicken



Whoa...Another weekend is here! The days are passing so fast, I don't know about you guys but I've just completely lost track of time. March is almost over and I feel like I just celebrated New Year. 

We are off to Ikea early tomorrow morning. I'm always looking for an excuse to go there and whats a better one than a sale. Boy, was I excited seeing the sale booklet in the mail. I'm totally crazy about all kitchen items, from cutlery to electronics, and my hands start itching from the moment I step into that store. Manoj teases me that my nostrils flare up whenever I see something I want and that's his cue to pull me away:). Anyways, I just love the storage jars they sell out there and they're gonna be selling each one for just 99c, irrespective of size. They are gonna be gone so quick, hoping I get a few. Happy Weekend you guys!
Onto the recipe now...this one is going to Think Spice...Think Pepper event hosted by Divya of Dil Se. The event was started by Sunita of Sunita's World.



Ingredients:
1lb boneless & skinless chicken
1 1/2tbs lemon juice
1tsp red chilli powder
1/4tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
1tbs oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1tbs grated ginger
1tbs grated garlic
1/4 cup tightly packed curry leaves
1-1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper powder

Method:
Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Add the lemon juice, chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt and mix well. Marinate for at least 2hrs.
Heat the oil and fry the onions till golden. Add the ginger and garlic and fry for about a minute.
Add the marinated chicken and curry leaves and fry on medium heat till done, about 10-12mins. Do not add any water and take care not to over cook the chicken.
Add the pepper powder and toss to mix well.
Serve hot as an appetizer or as a side dish.
