Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, chopped
6 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mango chutney
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chile powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, chopped
⅓ cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions in oil until soft.
