Creamy coconut milk and chicken kicked up with a strong assortment of spices. Serve over rice or pasta. I also like to use this as a filling for wraps or pita bread.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 2 large carrots, thinly sliced

  • 4 cloves garlic, diced

  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger

  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Melt butter in large frying pan over medium heat.

  2. Cook and stir the cumin seeds in butter until fragrant, about 1 minute.
