- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 large carrot, diced

Instructions
- Chop chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. If using browning sauce, mix with chicken and marinate for about 10 minutes.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until translucent, then add carrot and bell pepper, cooking until slightly tender.
- Add curry powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder; stir to coat vegetables evenly for about 1 minute.
- Incorporate marinated chicken into the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
