Whateveryouwannacallit/Easy Chicken&Rice Pulao-ish thing.

My khala saw this on some desi cooking show (I think) and then my mom tried it out and I thought it was great and sooo easy! It's great for leftover rice, too!

Ingredients:
1/2 lb or 1 lb chicken breast, cut into small cubes
1 large onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 tbsp garlic-ginger paste
tandoori masala
BUTTER :)
lemon/lime juice
sliced green onions
chopped cilantro

If you have a cup or two of leftover rice you can use that, otherwise, boil up a couple cups of rice, until cooked but firm, not very soft or mushy.

Sautee the chicken over high heat, with garlic-ginger paste and a tsp or two of tandoori masala, in a couple tbsps of butter until cooked. Remove and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium, add more butter to the pan and some oil if you want and throw in the onions and sautee for a minute or two. Add the bell peppers and sautee another few minutes until they just start to get a little tender. Throw in the chicken chunks and the rice and add a few more tsps of tandoori masala and stir well. Let it all cook together for a minute or two until the rice is warmed through, then add a couple tsps of lemon juice to taste. Taste for salt. Turn off the stove, and add a couple more slices of butter, the chopped green onions and cilantro. TADA! This literally took me like 15 minutes to make, fresh boiled rice included!
