Ingredients: 2lbs shredded chicken; 1 tbsp butter; 2 yellow onions, finely diced; 6 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tbsp grated ginger; 2 tbsp garam masala; 1 tbsp chili powder; 2 tsp cumin; 2 tsp turmeric; 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (1 tsp or more if you like spicy); 1 tsp salt; 15oz can tomato sauce; 2 13.5oz cans coconut milk; 12oz bag frozen peas; 1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt

Ingredients

2lbs shredded chicken
1 tbsp butter
2 yellow onions, finely diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp grated ginger
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (1 tsp or more if you like spicy)
1 tsp salt
15oz can tomato sauce
2 13.5oz cans coconut milk
12oz bag frozen peas
1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir the garlic, ginger, garam masala, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, and salt into the onion until the spices are quite fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken. Stir until it is completely coated in the spice mixture, breaking up any large chunks as you go.
Add the tomato sauce and coconut milk. Stir until combined.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low to continue simmering for about 15 minutes.
Stir in the frozen peas and allow to simmer for about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Allow to cool for 3 minutes, then stir in the yogurt (allowing it to cool prevents it from curdling).
Serve with rice or naan and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
