🍗 Tamarind Ginger Glazed Chicken

(Sticky, zesty, bold — this chicken doesn’t play it safe.)

Golden chicken breast cubes seared and glazed in a punchy tamarind and ginger sauce. It’s slightly sweet, slightly sour, with a warm spicy kick. The glaze clings to the chicken, pools on the plate, and makes a mess worth licking clean.

📝 Ingredients (Serves 2–3):

For the chicken:
• 2 chicken breasts, cut into thick cubes
• Salt & pepper
• 1 tbsp oil + 1 tbsp butter

For the glaze:

🔥 Instructions:
1. Sear the chicken:
Season with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot pan with oil and butter until golden on all sides and cooked through. Set aside briefly.
2. Make the glaze:
In the same pan, reduce heat and add all glaze ingredients. Simmer 2–3 min until slightly thickened.
3. Glaze the chicken:
Return chicken to the pan, toss to coat in the glaze. Let it caramelize and stick unevenly — messy is good.
4. Serve rustic:
Spoon onto a plate with glaze pooling around. No garnish needed. Best eaten hot and imperfect.
