Ingredients for One:
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (approx. 150-200g), butterflied or pounded to even thickness
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 cup mixed greens (spinach, kale, or bok choy)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Rempah Warisan Bernam Spices:
- 1 ½ tablespoons Rempah Warisan Bernam Chicken Curry Powder
- 1 teaspoon Rempah Warisan Bernam Turmeric Pure
- 1 teaspoon Rempah Warisan Bernam Cumin Powder
- ½ teaspoon Rempah Warisan Bernam Pure Chilli Powder (optional, adjust to taste for heat)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the Rempah Warisan Bernam Chicken Curry Powder, Rempah Warisan Bernam Turmeric Pure, Rempah Warisan Bernam Cumin Powder, Rempah Warisan Bernam Pure Chilli Powder (if using), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Rub this spice mixture generously all over the chicken breast, ensuring it's well coated. For best flavor, let it marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes if time allows.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the spiced chicken breast in the pan. Sear for 4-6 minutes per side, or until beautifully golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes while you prepare the greens.
- Sauté the Greens: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet (no need to clean it – the residual chicken flavor is a bonus!). Add the mixed greens and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until wilted and tender-crisp. Squeeze the juice from the 1/2 lemon over the greens and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Serve: Slice the rested chicken breast into thick strips or serve whole. Arrange the lemon-kissed greens on a plate and place the golden spice chicken alongside. Enjoy your quick, gourmet, and incredibly flavorful meal!
