Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and add the onions; cook for another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, garlic salt, and water to the chicken and stir. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoon garam masala. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garam masala into the mixture. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
