Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the chicken

1. In a skillet heated over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil (you can use olive oil for a richer taste). Sautéing the vegetables is an essential step, so don't skip it!

2. Add the sliced onions and diced bell peppers. Sauté them for 5-7 minutes until the onions become translucent and slightly soft. This step will enhance the flavors and add depth to the dish.

3. Once the onions and bell peppers are ready, add the julienned chicken breast. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken turns golden.

4. Add the crushed garlic and chopped chili pepper. These ingredients will add extra flavor, so make sure to mix them well into the mixture.

5. Season with salt, pepper, and curry. Mix everything well to combine the flavors. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors meld together.

6. Finally, add the chopped fresh parsley and stir again. The chicken is now ready to be served!

Step 2: Preparing the rosemary potatoes

1. In another skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. The aroma of melted butter will enrich the dish.

2. Meanwhile, peel the boiled potatoes and cut them into cubes. Make sure they are cooked al dente for a pleasing texture during frying.

3. Add the potatoes to the skillet with the melted butter and sprinkle the chopped rosemary. Sauté for about 10 minutes, gently stirring to avoid breaking them, until they become golden and crispy on the outside.

4. Finally, add salt to taste and stir a little more.

Serving

Serve the Turkish chicken alongside the rosemary potatoes for a complete and delicious meal. You can add a fresh vegetable salad to complement the dish. A glass of white wine or a refreshing lemonade would be the perfect accompaniment!

- Meat variations: You can replace the chicken breast with chicken thighs or even turkey for a different flavor.
