Categories     Chicken Recipes in Under 30 Minutes

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons garam masala (see notes)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Place the cut pieces of chicken in a bowl or tiptop plastic bag. Combine all of the marinate ingredients in a bowl and stir well. (It will be very thick.) Pour the marinate ingredients over the chicken and stir to coat all of the chicken. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours (see notes).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil.
  • Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Add the marinated chicken (along with all of the marinade) to the pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the yogurt and water, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, enough to maintain a steady simmer. Let cook for 8-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and sauce is thickened.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper (it may not need any).
  • Serve the chicken hot with extra sauce spooned over top.

HEALTHIER VERSION OF BUTTER CHICKEN

I lived in India for three years, but always felt that the traditional butter chicken dish was too rich given all the ghee... clarified butter they use. I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised! Will definitely make it again! Easy and very tasty. Something you can easily surprise your guests with.
