Directions

1. Step

In a bowl, mix the chicken strips with salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and yogurt. Massage the spices into the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Step

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and let it cook for another 10 minutes until tender.

3. Step

In the same pan, melt butter over low heat. Add flour and stir until combined. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to create a smooth sauce. Season with salt and black pepper, then add the mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens.

4. Step

Pour the creamy sauce over the cooked chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese and parsley on top. Cover and let it sit for 6 minutes until the cheese melts.

5. Step

Serve warm with rice, pasta, or toasted bread.
