Garam Masala Chicken Stew
Garam Masala is a beautiful blend of spices and lends a rich flavor to this warm and hearty Chicken Stew.
To begin, cut three boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 6 pieces each.
Heat a tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, cook the chicken until golden on both sides. Do not crowd the chicken, as you do not want to poach it. When you have a golden color like this, set them aside in a dish and work on the next batch. Do this to all of the chicken.
Clean and cut 4 medium red potatoes into in inch pieces. Place them in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Thinly slice a medium onion and spread the slices all over the top of the potatoes. Place the chicken on top of it all.
In a bowl, combine 8 ounces of tomato sauce, 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 1/2 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
Stir these all together and pour into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5 1/2 hours.
After the cooking time, add in 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup of frozen peas and 2 teaspoons of garam masala. Stir these in and turn your slow cooker up to high. Cook for 30 minutes, covered. While the stew is finishing up, cook some couscous or rice to serve with the stew if you like. I prefer golden couscous, but you can use what you like. I estimate 2/3 cup per person.
Enjoy!
