Chicken Bhurji
This chicken bhurji uses cooked chicken breast with quick-cooked vegetables for a fast, high-protein meal.
Ingredients
- Chicken breast (cooked, skinless), 250 g, shredded
- Green pepper, 40 g, chopped
- Tomato, 40 g, chopped
- Peas, 85 g (cooked)
- Black pepper (ground), 1/8 tsp
- Salt (table), 1/8 tsp
- Coriander leaves, for garnish
1. Cook the vegetables
- Add green pepper and tomato to a hot pan with a small splash of water.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomato softens and the pepper turns tender-crisp.
2. Finish the bhurji
- Add the peas and shredded chicken. Toss to combine.
- Season with black pepper and salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes so everything warms through.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
Chef's Notes
- If the chicken is dry, add a splash of water while mixing to keep it moist.
- This works well with rotis or as a protein side with rice.
