Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 and ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • cup heavy cream
  • chopped fresh cilantro, to garnish

Instructions

  • Add the butter and oil to a large saucepan or pot and heat over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken and cook until brown on all sides. Add in the chopped onion and saute 5 minutes, add the minced garlic and saute for an additional minute.
  • Add the salt and all of the spices, stir in the low-sodium chicken broth.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add it to the sauce, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook and stir until thickened. Pour in the heavy cream and continue cooking and stirring until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
