Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
- 1½ tsp garam massala

- 1 lemon
- ½ onion, medium, diced, optional

While the rice is cooking cut fat off chicken thighs and cut into bite-sized pieces, about ½-inch. Place into a bowl and season with garam masala, cumin, a pinch of salt, pepper, the juice of ½ a lemon. Mix together well.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil. Once the skillet is hot add in the chicken. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. At the 5-minute mark add in the onions, if desired.
