Ingredients

6 servings
  • 2 Tbsp light olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 large yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 ½ lbs chicken breast (tenderloin, or trimmed thighs, cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 4 g arlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tsp minced ginger (about 1-inch piece of ginger)
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt (plus more to taste)
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk (preferably the cream on top*)
  • ¼ cup almond flour (or 2 Tbsp almond butter or cashew butter, optional)
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Steps

  1. Saute Onions - Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp oil. Add onions and sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the chicken and sauté until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes. You don’t have to cook it through at this point.

  3. Build Flavor - Add minced garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the chicken is coated and the mixture is fragrant.

  4. Make the Sauce - Add yogurt, coconut cream, almond flour, and sugar and stir to combine. Bring to a light boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced to your desired thickness.

  5. Stir in the heavy cream and return to a simmer, then remove from heat. Season to taste with salt (I added an extra ¼ tsp salt).

  6. Serve over white rice if desired and garnish with cilantro.
