Ingredients

  • 4 Paratha Frozen
  • 500 g Chicken
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Bell Pepper
  • 1 Onion
  • 100 g Mozzarella Cheese
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Crushed Chilli
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano

Instructions

  • Start by adding the fajita seasonings (paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin powder, and oregano) to the chicken. Mix them thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
  • Next, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s fully cooked through and slightly browned.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add the garlic cloves to the pan and sauté them for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Add the tomato puree and soy sauce to the pan with the chicken mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pan and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Once cooked, remove the mixture from the heat and set it aside.
  • Now, take a paratha and add a generous amount of the chicken mixture to the center. Sprinkle a good amount of mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.
  • Fold the paratha in half to create a semi-circle shape. Gently press down on the edges to seal the filling inside. You can use a fork to crimp the edges if you like for a more decorative finish.
  • Heat up a little oil in the pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the stuffed paratha in the pan and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the paratha is golden brown and crispy.
