Made With:

Ingredients

  • • 1½ lbs Foster Farms Free Range Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • • 2 Tbsp Butter, divided
  • • 1 Onion, chopped
  • • 1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, minced
  • • 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • • 2 tsp Garam Masala
  • • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • • ½ tsp Ground Turmeric
  • • 1½ Cups Tomato Sauce
  • • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • • Naan Flatbread
  • • Hot Cooked Jasmine Rice and/or fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

1

In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken thigh fillets; cook and stir to brown chicken on all sides. (The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this point.) Transfer the chicken to a bowl.

2

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion, ginger, and garlic, and then cook and stir the mixture for 5 to 8 minutes or until onion is tender. Add garam masala, chili powder, cumin, and turmeric. Cook and stir about 1 minute more or until the spices are fragrant. Add tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and reduce heat. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3

Return the chicken to the skillet, and add the whole milk. Return to a gentle simmer. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes more or until the chicken is cooked through (the center reaches an internal temperature of 165°F).

4

Serve the chicken mixture with naan flatbread. If desired, serve over hot cooked jasmine rice with a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

COOK CHICKEN TO A SAFE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 165°F.

Always use a meat thermometer to determine the temperature. Do not rely solely on suggested cooking times. Cooking appliances vary in temperature and cooking times are a GUIDE ONLY.
