Green Chicken Masala

Suggested Piece: 12" Electric Skillet

Ingredients
1 onion (#2 cone)
3 tbsp. olive oil (opt.)
2 lbs. skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
1 1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/2 c. chicken broth
Small bunch fresh mint leaves
2 c. fresh cilantro leaves
1 jalapeno, chopped coarsely
4 garlic cloves (#1 cone)
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1 c. full-fat coconut milk
Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Directions
In a skillet over medium heat (approx. 300F), add the onion with the olive oil (opt.). Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion starts to soften. Add chicken thighs and turmeric to the skillet and continue cooking (approx. 7 mins.) Place the lemon juice, broth, mint, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic in a blender or food processor and blend until you obtain a smooth puree. 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. Cover and cook over medium heat until Vapo-Valve clicks. Then reduce heat to low for approximately 15 minutes or until the chicken is well cooked and tender. Serve immediately.
