Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of garlic salt, stirring everything around until fragrant. Add the chicken breasts and sprinkle in the curry powder, stirring well to coat the chicken. Let it cook until the chicken turns white, which should take about 5 minutes.

Step 2
Once the chicken is lightly browned, crumble in the chicken bouillon and add a few sprigs of thyme for extra flavor. Pour in enough water to cover the chicken, then add the potatoes. Let everything simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, around 10 minutes. Finally, stir in the chopped green bell pepper and cook for another 5 minutes before serving.
