Indian Chicken

I've never had Indian food before and it was a treat for me. I loved all the flavors that just POPPED!

Indian Chicken
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon paprika
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
salt to taste
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until lightly browned. Stir in garlic, curry powder, cinnamon, paprika, bay leaf, ginger, sugar and salt.

Stir for about two minutes. Add chicken, tomato paste, yogurt, and coconut milk.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove bay leaf, and stir in lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Simmer five more minutes and serve over rice.

I have to say, I'm enjoying Chicken Around the World week. My taste buds are going all around the world.

Be Sweet and Stay Sweet!
