Easter had just gone by and how I wish I had posted this recipe on time. Nevertheless, here it is. A quick, hassle-free recipe. Not sure why it is called an 'Easter' Chicken Pepper Roast. However, this is one of my signature dishes. I have cooked this countless times and it has never failed me. And oh yeah, it is P's favorite too. He gets cutely possessive when I cook this for my friends at work! 😛
This Pepper Chicken Roast comes straight from the heart of Kerala- the southern most state of India. The flavor of crushed peppercorns simply makes you go yum!
And how long does it take? 25 mins! I bet, this would be the best Chicken dish you've tasted, well, if you love a lil' heat!
With very less number of ingredients, this is definitely going to be your go-to dish. 
- 200 gms Boneless Chicken cut into bite-sized chinks
- 3 tablespoon oil preferably, coconut oil
- 2 Red chillies slit
- 1 cup Onion sliced
- 6 Garlic cloves chopped or mashed
- 2 tablespoon Peppercorns crushed
- 1 inch Cinnamon stick
- Salt to taste
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan and sauté onion until golden brown.
- Add crushed garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes.
- Add the red chilies, chicken, salt, pepper and cinnamon sticks and mix well.
- Cook covered over low heat for 20mins while stirring every 5mins.
- The chicken would be coated with pepper and onion and would be tender.
- Server hot!!
Trust me when I say, do not add water. Cook covered in low heat so that the chicken gets cooked in its water content.

Oh and in one of my comments I had given you idea for Pepper Chicken. 🙂
Saw it now that you already put it up.
What I had done was different.
And about not adding water, yes. It helps. Water is released. Pepper chicken is damn tasty

A roast chicken always feels celebratory; indeed, a roast chicken always is celebratory. The vibrantly coloured and intensely flavoured vegetables that are cooked alongside here seem only to underline this, offering their own brightness and brio, sunny in taste as well as mood.
