Ingredients
-
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
-
5 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
Directions
-
Combine cut chicken, 1 cup heavy cream, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, pepper, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or more.
-
When chicken is marinated to your liking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan over medium heat; sauté onion, jalapeno, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and tomato paste and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
-
Heat remaining oil in another skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook and stir until browned and no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Add more heavy cream as desired to obtain a light red sauce mixture. Stir and let simmer until flavors have melded, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve.
Cook's Note:
I prefer it saucy so I often add more tomato sauce and more cream. Experiment with the portions as you see fit.
