• On medium heat, add the olive oil to the skillet and add 1 tbsp of curry powder and cook the curry for about 1 minute.
• Add the onion, scallion and garlic then proceed to saute in the pan until soft and translucent.
• Now add the chicken and begin to sear the chicken until the meat turns color/seal and is no longer pink. This is will take about 10 minutes or so (it's normal for the chicken to extract its own juices).
