Julie's Chicken Korma

Called that not because Julie makes it, but because hubby Mike makes it and it's Julie's favorite! :)

• Ready In: 0 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 2  skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1  lb extra firm tofu, drained in colander then cubed
• 1  small onion
• 1  cup  sliced mushrooms (Julie prefers crimini)
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 4  tablespoons smooth cashew butter
• 1  cup half-and-half
• 1⁄8 teaspoon  african bird pepper (you can substitute other pepper, to taste - African bird pepper is VERY hot)
• 3  teaspoons turmeric
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon (Ceylon preferred)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1  teaspoon ground coriander
• 2  teaspoons ground cumin
• 3  teaspoons ground cardamom

Directions

1. Chop the onion, saute in butter and olive oil until they're opaque.
2. Throw in the sliced mushrooms, cubed firm tofu, cubed chicken breast meat, and saute some more.
3. Add the spices, saute until chicken is cooked and onions are browned.
4. Warm the cashew butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds, to soften it.
5. Then add the half and half and cashew butter to the chicken mixture and stir.
6. The sauce will pretty much thicken by itself.
7. Mike eats his over fragrant jasmine rice.
8. I eat mine over collard greens (it's lowcarb that way).
9. Yum!
10. Enjoy!
