Description

A popular Indian dish.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MARINATED CHICKEN:
  • 1 cup Plain Yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3  Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ½  Jalapeno Pepper, Finely Chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 1 cup Tomato Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Preparation

1. For the marinade, in a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, and salt. Stir in chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. To prepare the sauce, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Saute garlic and jalapenos for a minute then stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and garam masala. Then gently stir in the tomato sauce and heavy cream. Simmer on low until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
3. While the sauce is simmering, in another skillet, add your chicken but discard the marinade. An easy way to just get the chicken pieces out is to use a slotted spoon and the extra marinade will drain between the slots.
4. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 7-10 minutes.
5. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce mixture, stir to combine, and simmer for 10-15 minutes more.
6. Transfer to serving platter and serve over white rice or garlic naan (if you want to grab some from the store or find a good recipe for it).

I give it 5 mitts because it tasted fabulous, but I would have liked it to be a little “saucier.”
