DIRECTIONS

STEP 1

Coat all sides of the chicken in onion powder, garlic salt, and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and grease generously with Pure Lard. Cook the chicken until golden on both sides, about 8 minutes total. Remove the chicken to a bowl and set aside for later.

STEP 2

Turn the heat on the skillet to medium and add the diced onion and red bell pepper. If the pan seems dry, add a bit more Leaf Lard. Cook until the vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne to the pan.  Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the white wine, tomato paste, and grated ginger.  Stir until the wine has reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, bone broth, raisins, almonds, sea salt, and black pepper. 

STEP 3

Bring up to a simmer and add the chicken into the pan. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter and cream. Stir gently until just combined. Garnish with cilantro, as desired
