Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Chopped Onion
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger Peeled and minced
  • 6 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 2 14.5 ounce cans Unsalted Diced Tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup Water
  • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Garam Masala Plus 1 teaspoon, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Curry Powder Plus 1 teaspoon, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
  • 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 cup Light Coconut Milk
  • 3 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro Chopped
  • 2 cups Cooked Basmati Rice
  • Plain Greek Yogurt For topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the KitchenAid Multi-Cooker to sear mode. Add the olive oil, onion, ginger, and garlic to the cooker, stir occasionally and cook for 5 minutes until golden. Stir in the tomato paste and tomatoes, and cook for 3 minutes.
  • While the tomatoes are simmering combine 1/3 cup water with the 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour; mix until smooth. Then add that in the Multi-cooker as well as the garam masala, paprika, curry powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and cook for 1 minute.
  • Place the chicken breast in the tomato mixture, and make sure the breasts are completely covered. Cook on high for 4 hours.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the coconut milk, and additional teaspoons each of garam masala and curry powder, and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped cilantro.
  • Place a half cup of rice on each plate, carefully place chicken breast on top of the rice.
  • Ladle sauce on top as well as a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • If you do not have the KitchenAid Multi-Cooker you can do step 1 in a large pot on the stovetop then transfer to a slow cooker.
  • If you prefer dark meat you can use bone-in chicken thighs instead of skinless boneless chicken breasts.
