Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoon yellow curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream or half and half OR 16 oz plain Greek yogurt
  • rice and naan for serving

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or zip top bag, toss the chicken around in the curry powder, salt, pepper, and cinnamon until completely coated.
  • Put the vegetable oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until all sides are browned.
  • Add the heavy cream or yogurt and stir. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet partially, and simmer for 15 minutes or so. The chicken will finish cooking through and the sauce will thicken.
  • Serve the chicken and sauce with rice and naan.
