Creamy Cardamom Chicken image

This is a mildly spiced Persian dish of tender chicken in a creamy, mild sauce. It is easy to make and re-heats very well if made ahead of time.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2/3 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
1 1/2 teaspoons green cardamom pods
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 ounce butter
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated (about 1 1/2 in piece)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup heavy cream
3 ounces ground almonds
salt and pepper
cilantro, sprigs, to garnish

Steps:

  • Mix the yogurt with the cornstarch and set to one side. Cut each of the chicken breasts into 3 or 4 chunky pieces.
  • Lightly crush the cardamom pods so that the green husks split open, then remove the little brownish-black seeds from inside. Grind these into a fine powder with a pestle and mortar.
  • Heat the oil and butter in a flameproof casserole dish, add the chicken and cook over a medium heat until lightly browned all over. Add the turmeric, cinnamon, coriander and ground cardamom seeds and cook for a further minute.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the broth, grated ginger, lemon juice and the yogurt mixture. Return the pan to the heat, bring to a simmer and leave to cook gently for 15 minutes until the chicken is tender. (You can now set the dish aside until later if you wish).
  • Mix the cream with the ground almonds, stir into the chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Season to taste and serve, garnished with sprigs of cilantro.

This was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's just because I used a bit too much cardamom.
