Preparation

Step 1

Pepper chicken smothered with caramelized onion and green celery leaves! Yummy!! This is one of those recipes that get better every time I make it. I don’t usually add caramelized onion to my pepper chicken, but this time I did and it gave it that extra zip that turned from yummy to WOW!  I have a magic ingredient that makes my pepper chicken easy and loaded with flavor. I use

.  It is chock full of cracked pepper and other ingredients which add so many flavors to any dish.  The texture of the seasoning itself is all coarse and crumbly and just a whiff can send my senses soaring. I have not been paid by the McCormick  company to say this but I really love this product. I had onions lying around so as the chicken cooked I caramelized them in another pan and gently folded them in at the end and the pepper chicken came alive. When you caramelize onion it brings out the intense onion flavor! I used some celery tops to add some color to the dish  but it added some flavor too. All in all, an easy to make dish I am sure will become a family favorite!!  Look at all that peppery goodness!

Chicken is a good source of lean protein, iron, B vitamins and helps build immune function. Onion is known for its anti-cancer properties, so adding a lot of it to any dish is protective. Additional spices like pepper and paprika increase the anti-inflammatory quality of this dish! Perfect for when you have a cold!

If you can't get McCormick steak seasoning, just add some fresh pepper, cumin, paprika, to make about 2 tbsp of spice mix. Swap the celery leaves for fresh cilantro if you wish.

Directions

Heat one tbsp olive oil. Add 1/3 sliced onion and saute about 4 minutes till dark brown. Add ginger, garlic and saute 2 minutes

Add chicken chunks and the steak seasoning and cook uncovered about 30 minutes till it dries up.

Meanwhile heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add remaining onion and cook till it get soft brown and caramelized.

Add 1 tsp fresh pepper, paprika, salt to the chicken mixture and cook another 2 minutes. Add chopped celery leaves and caramelized onion and simmer for 2 minutes.

Serve hot with rice or in lettuce leaves to make a lettuce wrap
