Ingredients (22)

  • 8 oz skinless boneless chicken thighs medium, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 5.3 oz yellow onions
  • 2 oz almonds
  • 1 oz cashews
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter diced
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp Hunt's tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 3 tsp garlic
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp parsley minced
  • 1 jalapeño sliced
  • 16 oz cooked short-grain rice

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Put 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 3 tsp garlic, 1 tbsp garam masala, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 2 oz almonds, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp ground cardamom, 2 tsp curry powder into a food processor, turn on at high speed to puree them until completely smooth.

2

In a large bowl, place 8 oz chicken thighs, the mixture we just blended, and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. Mix well, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter, and stir until the butter melts. Sauteé 5.3 oz chopped onions for 4 minutes until caramelized.

4

Add the chicken thigh to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes.

5

Pour in 1/2 cup chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the skillet to get all of the flavors fused into the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes.

6

Pour in 3 tbsp heavy cream and keep stirring for another minute so the chicken absorbs the juice perfectly. Turn off the heat.

7

Serve with hot cooked rice. Sprinkle with 1 oz crushed cashews, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp parsley, and sliced jalapeño.
