  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté onions until soft and translucent.
  5. Add minced garlic and spices (paprika, chili powder, cumin, ginger), stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream, letting it simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until thickened.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and coat it in the sauce. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use half-and-half for a lighter version.
