Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, skinned, halved and cubed (8 ounces total)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves
  • 2 cups low-fat or nonfat plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté garlic and onions until golden. Add chicken and sauté until browned. Add water, coriander, ginger, cumin, cardamom, cayenne, raisin, and apricot preserves. Simmer uncovered until chicken is cooked, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
