Chicken Chilli Dry

…The ginger lends a hand in adding so much flavor in this dish, that you won’t need to douse your chicken in a salty sauce to achieve depth of flavor.

So here it is, my super simple (that’s always given here) flavor packed recipe for chicken chilli dry, and I’m breaking from the norm here and posting the recipe in a larger quantity, because this flies fast.
