Instructions

Heat 2g of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and carrots, sweating them until they are soft and translucent, about 6-8 minutes.

Add the diced chicken breast to the pan. Sauté until the chicken is opaque and lightly browned on the edges. Season with turmeric, ginger, and a pinch of salt—the hallmark aromatics of Alicha.

Add a splash of water, cover, and braise for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened into a fragrant, golden coating.

In a separate small skillet, wilt the spinach with the remaining 2g of olive oil until just vibrant green.

Fluff the cooked white rice and plate it alongside the Doro Alicha. Top with the wilted spinach. The sweetness of the carrots and the warmth of the turmeric provide a beautiful balance to the lean chicken.
