Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons coconut oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium onion, cut into half moons
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons curry powder
3 pods cardamom pods
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
½ cup plain yogurt
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Add chicken and brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper.

I added some chopped pineapple to this dish and it was delicious! The pineapple added a bit of sweetness and acidity that balanced out the flavors.

I made this dish in a slow cooker and it turned out great! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was flavorful and thick.

This dish is a bit spicy, so if you don't like spicy food, you may want to reduce the amount of chili pepper.

I made this dish with brown rice instead of white rice and it was still delicious. The flavors were still well-balanced and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
