2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook on low for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. (165 degrees fahrenheit)
Once the chicken is cooked, serve it over rice with naan and add Cilantro as a garnish if desired.
