Pan Grilled Chicken with sauteed vegetables

Ingredients:
Chicken breast:2
Juice of half a lemon
Olive oil:2tsp
Salt and pepper to taste
Crushed garlic:1tsp
Stir fry sauce:1 tbsp
Chicken stock powder 1/2tsp
Butter to brush (optional)
Vegetables of your choice cut in long strips. I have used broccoli, babycorn,bell pepper,onion.
Method
Take clean and dry chicken breasts and flatten it slightly with meat hammer just to get even thickness all over.
Now marinate it with salt, pepper, lime juice, stock powder, olive oil and garlic. Keep it covered for 30 minutes.
Heat a grill pan. Brush it lightly with oil and place the chicken pieces. Cook in medium high flame for about 2-3minutes on each side. Chicken cooks really fast and so keep a vigil eye else it might turn dry and hard. You can brush each side with some melted butter. Remove the chicken and keep covered till serving. I always cover with aluminium foil .
In the same pan put all the veggies and stir fry adding a bit of salt and pepper. The vegetables should retain their crunch. Add the stir fry sauce and mix well.
In a serving dish place the chicken and vegetables. It can be eaten just like that. Also, garlic Bread would be a great companion to this preparation.

Livers

While many people shy away from it, offal, like liver, heart, gizzard, etc., is an acquired taste, and has its own fan following. Rich in protein and minerals, they are great for the times when you do not want to add unwanted fat to your diet, but would like something protein rich. Liver, specifically, is known for its high content of minerals. This recipe can be completed, from start to finish, in 20 minutes, and it feeds 1-2 people easily. Serve this solo, or mix it with salad leaves and call it a salad!

Start by cleaning 250 gm. mutton liver, and cutting into 1" squares. I generally soak liver in milk before cooking, so while I am prepping the rest, I let the liver soak in a bit of milk.

Chop one medium onion. Puree or crush 1 medium tomato Whisk 2 tablespoon yoghurt with 1 teaspoon water to make it slightly thin. Add a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Heat a teaspoon of oil in the pan, and drop in the onion. Let the onion fry till its mildly golden, stirring well, and then add a teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste. Stir fry this for 1 minute, and then add the tomato. Cook till the tomato is mostly dry and cooked, then add the mutton liver. Stir fry over medium heat till the liver is cooked a bit - about 3-4 minutes. Then, add 1 teaspoon garam masala powder, a pinch of red chilli powder and the curd. Cover and cook till the liver is done to your likeness, over simmering heat. Then, take off the lid and cook till the curd mostly evaporates. Add salt and if you want some sugar, and top with chopped green chillies and a squeeze of lime.
