  • 1 lb Chicken boneless thigh
  • Salt to taste

Add later
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup or heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Marinate the Chicken with salt, cumin, garlic, oregano, chilli powder, oil and lime juice and keep aside preferably overnight but 30 - 60 mins will do
  2. Blend all the sauce ingredients together to a smooth paste
  3. In a saute pan add the Chicken and sear on both sides for some great color, remove and keep aside to cool, it’s ok if the chicken is not fully cooked
  4. In the same pan add the sauce and bring to the boil
  5. Cut the chicken pieces into smaller chunks and add back in
  6. Add the water to the food processor so you don’t waste any of that sauce and add it in
  7. Finally finish off with the heavy cream and serve with rice
