Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 garlic gloves, finely minced

2 teaspoon garam masala

1 ½ teaspoon tumeric

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 tablespoon grated ginger

1 bottle of tomato passata

1/4 cup chicken stock or water

1/3 cup cashew butter

1/3 cup light coconut milk

Salt & Pepper

** optional add ons include cauliflower, broccoli, green peas, etc.

Method

1.    Over medium heat, using a large pot add oil, chicken, salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned ( about 3 to 5 minutes)

2.    Using the same pot add the onions, garlic & spices. Cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften, about 3 min. 

3.    Next add the tomato passata. Before you throw that jar out fill it with the chicken stock and shake it so you don’t waste any of those empty bits that get stuck on the side of the jar and empty into pan.

4.    Simmer for 3 minutes then add in cashew butter and coconut milk. Stir until everything is incorporated/smooth.

5.    Serve over brown rice, eat it alone, however you like!
