Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with all of the ingredients from the marinade and mix until well-combined. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. However, letting it sit for 24 hours is highly recommended.
- After your chicken is done marinating, heat the Olitalia TuttOlio over medium heat in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, add your cubed chicken thighs, only adding a few pieces at a time to avoid crowding and to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, then set aside on a separate dish.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the onions. Cook until translucent.
- Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the garam masala, cumin, turmeric, and ground coriander, and cook for 20-30 seconds.
- Pour in the Ciao Authentica Crushed Tomatoes, red chili powder, honey, and salt, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Your sauce should start to thicken towards the end.
- Lastly, add the heavy cream and all of the chicken, and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Once it is cooked, add it to a plate of rice and top with cilantro. Serve and enjoy!
