Add the chicken, and rub the marinade over the meat. Set the chicken aside while you make the sauce.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a small bowl, whisk together the coriander, cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, paprika, cayenne, and grated ginger. In a heavy pot or saut\u00e9 pan over moderately high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and saut\u00e9, stirring occasionally, until light brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderate then stir in the spice and ginger mixture. Add the tomato pur\u00e9e, water, heavy cream, and salt, and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to gently simmer the sauce, uncovered, until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Heat a large skillet over moderately high heat until very hot and add 1\/2 tablespoon of canola oil. Working in two batches, cook the chicken breasts, turning them a few times until just cooked through and browned well on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer the chicken as cooked to a cutting board. Wipe the griddle or skillet clean with a paper towel and cook the remaining chicken, adding the remaining 1\/2 tablespoon canola oil between batches.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">When all the chicken is cooked, cut it into 1 1\/2-inch pieces. Add the chicken to the simmering sauce and continue to gently simmer it, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the black pepper and chopped cilantro, and season with salt.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with additional cilantro sprigs. Serve with naan, Basmati rice and raita.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.4.3177<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was a little nervous about serving this to my kids but they loved it and asked to have leftovers the next day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1871,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9,220],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-1870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicken","category-indian","tag-chicken","course-main","cuisine-indian"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
