I've decided to go ethnic.  Ok, not me personally but my cooking.  I'm running out of recipes and in an effort to seek out new flavors, I've started my search for ethnic dishes.  I've gone down this path before but I think I need to stay on it for a while.  I mean really... how many ways can I make a meatloaf or a bowl of chili?  I have recipes for 9 of each listed on this sight.

I fired up my handy dandy rice cooker and used 2.25 cups of water per one cup of brown rice.  If I make this again, the only thing I'd change is maybe add a little bite to it in the form of cayenne pepper or curry powder.



Yogurt Chicken over Brown Rice

- one cup of uncooked brown rice
- four boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- two onions, chopped thick
- three garlic cloves, minced
- two tsp grated ginger
- one cinnamon stick
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- one tsp chili powder
- one tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- two tbsp plan fat-free yogurt
- one can petite diced tomatoes, drained
- one 7oz can of diced green chiles
- two tbsp olive oil

Cook rice according to instructions.

In a stockpot, sauté onions in one tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat for three minutes.  Add garlic and ginger; continue to cook for two minutes.  Add cinnamon stick, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garam masala; continue to cook for one minute.  Add additional tbsp olive oil when spices start to stick.  Add chicken and brown for 4 minutes.  Add yogurt, tomatoes, and green chiles; simmer for 15 minutes partially covered.
