Creamy coconut milk and chicken kicked up with a strong assortment of spices. Serve over rice or pasta. I also like to use this as a filling for wraps or pita bread.

Ingredients

¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 large carrots, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, diced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

Melt butter in large frying pan over medium heat.
Cook and stir the cumin seeds in butter until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir chicken into the skillet with cumin seeds, and cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess juices, if any.
Pour vegetable oil into skillet with chicken, and heat oil until sizzling.
Mix in onion, carrots, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, honey, ground cumin, cinnamon, curry powder, salt, and black pepper to the pan; cook until onions are translucent and carrots done, 5 to 8 minutes.
