Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground cumin, cayenne pepper, turmeric, ground coriander, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to blend the spices evenly until they're well combined.
- Take your boneless, skinless chicken breasts and add them to the spice mixture. Gently toss the chicken until it's fully coated in the vibrant spices.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive or coconut oil. Once hot, carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear for 6-8 minutes on each side until they're golden brown and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in the chopped onion and diced jalapeño pepper. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic, allowing them to cook for about 1 minute until they're fragrant. Keep stirring to prevent burning.
- Add the finely chopped tomatoes and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well, cooking for 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
- Pour in the unsweetened coconut milk and stir to combine thoroughly. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully place the seared chicken back into the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro over the top of your dish before serving.

Notes
Marinate the chicken in the spice mix for a few hours for enhanced flavor. Serve with rice or salad for a complete meal.
