PREPARATION

  1. Start by marinading the chicken: add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

  2. Cook the chicken: heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Take each piece of chicken out (do not pour leftover marinade into fry pan). Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the chicken is white (it won’t brown because of the marinade).

  3. Add the tomato passata, tomato paste, cream, sugar and salt. Can add the remaining marinade to the pan at this point. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Adjust to taste (adding more sugar/salt).

  4. Garnish with fresh cilantro (if using) and serve with basmati rice and/or naan. Enjoy!
