Ingredients:
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp butter
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
8oz can tomato sauce
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 cup Nounós Creamery Plain Greek Yogurt, at room temperature
Cilantro, for topping
Cooked white rice, for serving
Steps:
Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and onions. Cook for three minutes or until translucent. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add the chicken, tomato sauce, and spices and cook for six minutes.
Add the Nounós Creamery Classic Plain Greek Yogurt, adding about ⅓ at a time and mixing fully. Make sure the yogurt is at room temperature - otherwise it may separate. Simmer for 10 minutes, then top with cilantro. Enjoy with rice.
