Instructions
- Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle each side of each chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning mix and rub it in well with your hands.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or 5-quart pot over high heat just until the oil begins to smoke, about 4 minutes.
- Brown the seasoned breasts (in batches if necessary) about 2 to 3 minutes per side, then remove them from the pan.
- The oil and tumeric give the chicken a yellow-gold color that is really dramatic.
- To the same skillet (or pot) add 1 cup of the onions, 38 cup of each color of bell pepper, the banana (see note), and the remaining seasoning mix.
- Cook, stirring and scraping occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- If necessary to prevent burning, add 1/4 cup stock and deglaze the pot scraping to loosen any brown bits): you may have to lower the heat to medium.
- Add the garlic ginger and flour and stir until the flour is thoroughly absorbed.
- Add the remaining bell peppers and onions, the cilantro and the jalapeno peppers.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes and the remaining stock and return the chicken and accumulated juices to the pan.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the chicken is done, about 10 minutes.
- Serve hot.
