I got this off the internet a few years ago. It is now my youngest son(a chef in Melbourne)'s requested dish when he's at home. So I guess to him it's major comfort food!

- 500 g diced chicken (, breast or thigh fillet)
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1 (225 g) can peeled whole tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 cup natural yoghurt
Directions

In a large pan, heat the butter until it is frothy.2
Add the onions and the cinnamon to the pan and fry lightly.3

Add the chicken and saute stirring constantly until the chicken meat turns white.5

This was amazing, I made dinner for the entire family tonight and there was NOTHING left!!! We made some rice and got some great naan from Presidents Choice and WOW! I'll make that again very soon!It was really easy to make, I used diced tomatoes instead of whole ones, garlic powder and ground ginger instead of fresh stuff just cause I didn't have any on hand...still amazing!

We loved this chicken. The flavors all together were beautiful, but not too rich. I liked the yogurt instead of sour cream. It was very easy to put together, and it made a lovely meal. I will be using this one again.

DH and I both enjoyed this very much. I used thighs and legs, removed the skin and bone and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 45 minutes. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was superb. I served this with oven roasted potatoes. Will definitly keep this one habdy! Thanks a bunch Jan!
