Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (19 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 whole rotisserie-cooked chicken, skin removed and meat cut up
1/3 cup light cream (5%)
1/4 cup light sour cream or 1/4 cup light plain yogurt
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

Add undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, brown sugar, salt and pepper; reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add cut-up chicken, cream and sour cream; simmer, uncovered, for five more minutes.
