Description

Directions

• In a large ziploc bag the night before cooking add the yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, salt and chicken (leave the chicken breasts whole here).
• Zip the bag closed and work the mixture into the chicken until all incorporated.
• Scrape off a majority of the marinade that is on the chicken and discard it. Youll have plenty of the second sauce to keep the food moist and provide enough sauce.
• Cut the chicken into two inch chunks.
• When youre ready to cook the chicken, add the butter, garlic and jalapeno into the bottom of the slow cooker.
• In a small bowl add the 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, tomato sauce and heavy cream and stir to combine.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken, cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
• Stir the cornstarch into the one tablespoon of water and add to the slow cooker and stir (stir and pour quickly since youre using more cornstarch than water it will settle quickly).
• Cook an additional 20 minutes on high.
• Top with cilantro before serving.
