1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 bone-in chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds), trimmed
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 2-inch julienne strips (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection Garam Masala, divided
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Garlic Salt
1/4 cup water
Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down; cook 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn chicken; add onion. Cook and stir onions 3 to 4 minutes longer.

2. Stir in tomatoes, carrot, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the garam masala, garlic salt and water, submerging carrot into cooking liquid. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove chicken to serving platter; cover with foil to keep warm.
