Ingredients
- 16 ounce boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¾ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon salted butter
- 2 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
- ¼ medium onion diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon erythritol
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Begin by adding all of the dried spices to a bowl and give a quick stir to combine. Cut up the chicken thighs into bite sized pieces and add them to the bowl. Toss to coat them thoroughly with the spices.
- Over medium heat, add the butter to a frying pan. Once melted, add the onion and garlic and cook for about three minutes until the onions are translucent.
- Increase the temp to medium high, then add the chicken. Cook it for about 5 minutes, , stirring often, until it is almost cooked through and the outside has turned white. It’s okay if it’s not quite done; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
- To the chicken, add the heavy cream, tomato paste, and erythritol. Stir well to combine everything. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Remove lid and add salt, if desired. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes or until sauce is at your preferred consistency. Plate with your favorite side and enjoy!
