Zutaten

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3/4 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon salt

3 chicken breasts (, boneless skinless)

1 tablespoon butter

1 clove garlic (, minced)

1 jalapeno pepper (, finely chopped)

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

1/4 cup fresh cilantro (, chopped)

Anweisungen

Mix

In a large ziploc bag the night before cooking add the yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, salt and chicken (leave the chicken breasts whole here).

Marinate

Zip the bag closed and work the mixture into the chicken until all incorporated. Refrigerate overnight.

Remove

Scrape off a majority of the marinade that is on the chicken and discard it. You'll have plenty of the second sauce to keep the food moist and provide enough sauce.

Cut the chicken into two inch chunks.

Add

When you're ready to cook the chicken, add the butter, garlic and jalapeno into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the chicken pieces on top.

Stir

In a small bowl add the 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, tomato sauce and heavy cream and stir to combine.

Pour the sauce over the chicken, cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Stir the cornstarch into the one tablespoon of water and add to the slow cooker and stir (stir and pour quickly since you're using more cornstarch than water it will settle quickly).

Cook an additional 20 minutes on high.

Garnish

Top with cilantro before serving.
