Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

Directions

  • Step 1
    In a medium bowl, combine the cubed chicken, yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to overnight).
