Ingredients:

Serving

1 medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 jalapeno, seeded, and finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp coriander
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2-3)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter

Directions:

In a large 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
Add the onion, ginger and jalapeno. Stir often while cooking until the onion is translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in garlic, garam masala, chili powder, cardamom, and coriander. Cook stirring, constantly for another minute.
Scrape the mixture into a blender or food processor and add tomato paste and chicken broth. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the sauce back into the skillet and add the half and half.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and add the chicken pieces and the salt and pepper. Stir.
Keep the sauce at a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Cut remaining 3 tablespoons butter into chunks and stir into the sauce until melted.
Serve the chicken and sauce over hot jasmine or basmati rice. Garnish with fresh, chopped cilantro, if desired. Also, serve with Naan or Roti Paratha for dipping.
