Bake the chicken in a shallow dish for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

Cardamom and Black Pepper Chicken





For marinating the chicken:





6 tablespoons finely chopped onions


2 inches piece fresh ginger


2 large garlic cloves, chopped


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper


1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch thick slices





For cooking the chicken:





3 tablespoons corn oil or peanut oil or olive oil


1 medium cinnamon stick


8 whole cardamom pods


1 cup onions, sliced into fine half rings


1/2 teaspoon ground cumin


1/2 teaspoon ground coriander


4 tablespoons plain yogurt


5 tablespoons grated tomatoes


1 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon garam masala


2-3 teaspoons lemon juice





To make the marinade: Put the onion, ginger, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper and 3 TBSP water into a blender. Blend to a smooth paste, pushing down with rubber spatula when needed.


To marinate the chicken: Put the sliced chicken in a bowl. Add the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.


To make the dish: Pour the oil into a wide, nonstick pan set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the cinnamon and cardamom. Stir for 10 seconds. Put in the onion and fry, stirring at the same time, for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the onion turns a reddish-brown color. Add the cumin and coriander. Stir once. Add the yogurt, 1 TBSP at a time, and stir until it is absorbed. Add the tomato and stir for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium, add the chicken, together with its marinade, and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the chicken pieces turn white. Add 3/4 cup water, the salt, and garam masala. Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring now and then.
