Essential in Indian cooking, yogurt adds a layer of creaminess to chicken tenders cooked in a flavorful sauce made with garam masala and curry powder. We serve it with store-bought naan, but it would be just as delicious served over fragrant basmati rice.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan heats up, finely chop the onion, about 1 heaping cup. Add the canola oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, finely grate the garlic into the tomato paste and add to the onions along with the curry powder, garam masala and 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a strong simmer. Cut the chicken tenders in half crosswise, sprinkle liberally with salt and stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  2. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and stir in the peas and 1/4 cup yogurt. Cook until the peas are just warmed through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Divide among 4 bowls. Top each with the remaining yogurt and serve with warm naan.

Cook’s Note

To warm the naan, put the bread on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F until warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
