### Ingredients List
– 500 grams boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4 tablespoons garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
– 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 teaspoon red chili powder
– 1 teaspoon coriander powder
– 1 teaspoon garam masala
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 3 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or olive oil)
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– Salt to taste
– Fresh cilantro for garnish

### Instructions/Steps
1. **Marinate the Chicken:** In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, minced garlic, ginger, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (the longer, the better!).

2. **Cook the Onions:** In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become golden brown and translucent.

3. **Cook the Chicken:** Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook on medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked and tender. If needed, add a splash of water to avoid burning.

4. **Final Touches:** Once cooked through, taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

5. **Serve:** Enjoy your Garlic Chicken with steamed rice, naan, or paired with your favorite Indian side dishes.
