4 cloves garlic
1/2 large yellow onion
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 Tbsp garam masala spice blend*
Salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 1/2 tsp ground paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt**
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
Directions
Pulse ginger and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add onion and pulse until finely chopped. Toss chicken with 1 1/2 tsp garam masala and 1 tsp salt. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, rotating halfway through cooking, until cooked through, about 6 - 7 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a plate. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion mixture and saute until onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste, remaining 1 Tbsp garam masala, the paprika, and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Add crushed tomatoes, season with salt to taste, and cook stirring occasionally until mixture is hot, about 2 minutes***. Return chicken to pan and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat, stir in Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Serve warm over basmati rice topped with cilantro.
