One Pot Indian Chicken

I tried this Indian Chicken recipe for the first time this week and it was a hit with our family, including 10 month old Jack. I adapted the recipe slightly from Stonyfield Yogurt Cookbook which I received at the blogger event I attended in July. The recipe was incredibly easy and really only requires one pot (although I didn't realize this until after I had used two: a skillet and a casserole dish. I could have easily used my dutch oven to make the whole thing.) I modified the recipe slightly to make it less "hot" and more kiddo friendly. And even though it wasn't too spicy it had a nice heat to it from the curry powder. It doesn't look like much in the picture but it was delicious. Thick and creamy from the greek yogurt and a nice heat from the curry powder.

One Pot Indian Chicken (adapted from Indian Chicken by Peggy Baily in the Stonyfield Yogurt Cookbook)

1 large onion diced

3 medium carrots peeled and diced

1-2 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter)

3 cloves garlic minced

1 tbs hot madras curry powder (plain curry powder would make it less spicy)

1/4 tsp red chili flakes (omit if you want it to be mild)

3 tablespoons Braggs Liquid Aminos (substitute soy sauce)

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup water

1 cup Stonyfield Organic Plain Greek Yogurt

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Preheat oven to 350. In a large dutch oven (you can use a skillet or sautee pan if you don't have a oven safe dish) sautee the onions and carrots in coconut oil for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, curry powder and red chili flakes and sauté another 2-3 minutes. Add Braggs Liquid Aminos, honey, orange juice and water and simmer for 10 minutes until reduced to a thicker sauce.

Sautee onions, carrots, garlic and spices.

Remove from heat and sir in yogurt. Rub chicken with salt and pepper then place in the yogurt-curry mixture in the dutch oven, coat thoroughly. If using a skillet then place chicken in an oven safe casserole dish and pour yogurt-curry mixture over the top coating the chicken thoroughly.
