Steps
Step 1
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and spray with olive oil or coconut oil.
Step 2
Add the chicken and cook it in the skillet for about 5 minutes, until the outside is no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 3
Using the same skillet, add ghee and let it melt. Then, toss in onion, ginger and garlic. Let it cook for about 2 minutes and be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 4
Add the seasonings and “bloom” them or gently sauté them in order to boost the flavors. After about 1 minute (or until the spies are fragrant), add the chicken chunks, coconut cream and freshly squeezed lemon.
Step 5
Stir and cook for about 2 minutes then add the tomato. Cover and simmer on low for about 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 6
Season to taste with sea salt & pepper and garnish with cilantro.
