Sweet and Spicy Indian Chicken

Step 1

Combine the yogurt, all the spices including the curry and chili paste and the lemon juice in a small bowl and mix together with a spoon.

Step 2

Place the chicken in a large baking dish and coat in the yogurt mixture. You can let the chicken marinate like this for up to 8 hours if you'd like or you can cook it right away.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high.

Step 4

Add the coconut oil. Once melted and hot, add the chicken to the skillet.

Step 5

Cook 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown then flip and cook another 3 minutes on the other side until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6

Whisk the maple syrup and lemon juice for the glaze together in a small bowl and add to the skillet with the chicken.

Step 7

Cook down 1-2 minutes until bubbly and starting to reduce. Flip the chicken a few times in the glaze to coat. Turn off the heat and serve.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice mixture if desired.
