Green Chicken Masala

Green Chicken Masala

Ingredients:
2 pounds skinless, boneless, free-range, organic chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch
pieces
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup water or chicken stock
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
Small bunch fresh mint leaves
1 jalapeño pepper, chopped coarsely
1 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
3 tablespoons coconut oil or clarified butter
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion with the butter. Cook,
stirring occasionally for approximately 5 minutes or until the onion starts to
soften.
Add chicken thighs and the turmeric to the skillet and continue cooking,
stirring occasionally for approximately another 7 minutes.
Place the lemon juice, water or stock, mint, cilantro, jalapeño and garlic in a
blender or food processor and blend until you obtain a smooth puree.
After the chicken has cooked for around 7 minutes, add the cloves, cardamom
and cinnamon. Cook for just about a minute.
Add in the coconut milk, season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and
add the herb puree.
Bring it all to a nice simmer and let it continue for approximately 15 minutes,
or until the chicken is well cooked and tender.
Serve immediately.
