1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon salt

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup heavy cream

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped

1 tablespoon butter

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon cold water, or more as needed

½ cup ketchup

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (Optional)

Directions

Whisk Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon garam masala, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, ginger, and salt together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, and work the marinade into the chicken until it is coated. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight.

Transfer chicken and marinade to a slow cooker. Add heavy cream, tomato sauce, garlic, jalapeno pepper, remaining 1 tablespoon garam masala, butter, cumin, paprika, and salt; mix with a ladle to combine.

Cover and cook on Low for 5 hours, or on High for 3 hours, until chicken juices run clear.

Whisk cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until completely combined, adding more water if necessary. Add to the slow cooker. Mix in ketchup. Cook on High for an additional 20 minutes. Serve with cilantro.

For more heat, you can substitute cayenne pepper for paprika.
