Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces (with breast quartered)
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground white pepper, or as needed
1 teaspoon salt, or as needed
2 cups thick whole-milk yogurt, like Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 to 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a 4- to 5-quart saucepan, combine chicken pieces, cardamom, 1 teaspoon white pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Add just enough cold water to cover. Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, partly covered, until chicken is opaque throughout, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Using a fork, transfer chicken to a platter. Remove 2 cups broth and pour into a clean saucepan. Add yogurt and cornstarch, and place over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, then add chicken and allow to thoroughly reheat for a few more minutes. Adjust salt and pepper as needed, and stir to coat chicken with sauce. Serve garnished with toasted pine nuts or almonds.

The yogurt sauce was too tangy for my taste.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken in the fridge, and this was the perfect way to turn it into a new meal.
