Method
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tsp garam masala, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
- Heat 2 tsp of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tsp of oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft. Stir in the 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tbsp of grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the 1.5 tsp garam masala, paprika, and ground coriander to the skillet. Stir constantly for 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat. Let it warm through for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best results, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours to make it extra tender.
To prevent the Greek yogurt from curdling, temper it by mixing a spoonful of the hot sauce into the yogurt before adding it to the pan.
Serve with brown rice or cauliflower rice to keep the meal healthy.
