Ingredients

2 tbsp butter
1 yellow onion, sliced
1" piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Fenugreek
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Rice, naan, and fresh cilantro for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add butter and onion. Cook, until onions are golden and starting to blacken along the edges, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, then stir to combine.
  2. Add chicken, tomato paste, and spices. Stir to coat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add heavy cream and broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue to cook for about 15 minutes, or until sauce has thickened, and chicken is tender. Serve over rice, with naan on the side, and top with fresh cilantro, if desired.
