Food Handling tips:

• Wash hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. Clean all countertops and equipment used for food preparation.
• Gently rinse all produce under cool running water. Use a clean vegetable brush to scrub firm produce.
• Use separate equipment for handling raw food and cooked food.
• Put leftovers away within 2 hours or sooner if they are in a warm location. Reheat leftovers to an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). Discard uneaten leftovers after they have been reheated.

Preparation:

1. Don’t rinse raw poultry prior to using. Sprinkle and rub the chicken evenly with salt, pepper, and half of curry
   powder. Let it sit for 10‐15 minutes. Wash your hands thoroughly, 
2. Heat half of the oil in a 12‐inch skillet over high heat until just
   smoking. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring
   occasionally, until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 3
   minutes. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 74 ºC (165ºF) on a digital food thermometer. Transfer the partially cooked chicken to a clean bowl and set
   aside.
3. Return skillet to heat and set to medium. Add 2nd half of the oil and
   finely chopped onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened,
   about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and ginger (optional) plus the
   remaining half of curry powder and cook until fragrant, about a
   minute more.
4. Whisk the cold no salt added chicken broth and cornstarch together to
   dissolve the cornstarch, then add to the skillet along with the sugar.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the
   sauce is nicely thickened, about 5 minutes. Add canned no salt, added
   chickpeas.
6. Taste for the desired amount of curry. Add more as desired.
7. Add the frozen peas and partially cooked chicken to the skillet, turn
   the heat down to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through,
   stirring frequently for at least 20 minutes.
8. Serve with ½ cup of cooked basmati rice and a side of steamed veggies or
   green salad.
