Directions: |
Directions:In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, ginger, and 4 teaspoons salt. Stir in chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat a grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill until juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side.
Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and jalapeno for 1 minute. Season with 2 teaspoons cumin, paprika, and 3 teaspoons salt. Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Add grilled chicken, and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes: (amended from allrecipes.com) Notes: We skip the marinade and grill our chicken plain, then cut into pieces. We use canned or jarred jalapenos (mostly because I can NEVER pick a pepper with any heat) and dice them. We have amended the salt to 2 teaspoons and have found that the sauce rarely thickens until it cools. We serve over Lundberg Wild Rice Blend and stack rice, then chicken then sauce. Mmmm. Yummy!
