Ingredients

4 servings

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
