Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 chicken breasts (about 1 pound total, cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
sea salt and pepper
1 yellow onion (peeled and chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together the coriander, cumin, paprika, cardamom, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil. When oil is hot, add chicken pieces. Be sure they do not touch. Cook in batches if necessary.
Brown chicken, then cook until opaque. Remove from pan to a plate. Set aside.
If needed, add more oil to pan. Add onions and cook them until they just start browning on the edges.
Stir in the mixture of spices. Cook for about two minutes, stirring constantly, to toast spices.
Add fresh ginger, tomato paste and cream to the skillet, stirring to mix thoroughly. Add the chicken into the sauce. Increase heat to medium to bring the mixture to a simmer, then turn the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens to desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
