Servings: persons

2 tablespoons oil, divided
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 -2 teaspoon ground cardamom, to taste
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup sliced unskinned blanched almond
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt or 1 1/2 cups sour cream
salt, to taste
1/4 cup sliced toasted almond, for garnish

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a saute pan over medium heat; add the chicken breasts or thighs and brown for about 3 minutes per side until the chicken turns opaque.
3
Remove and place the chicken in an ovenproof casserole dish or Dutch oven.
4
Add the remaining oil, butter, and onion to the saute pan; saute until onion is wilted, about 5 minutes.
5
Add the garlic, cardamom, coriander, black pepper and blanched sliced almonds; cook until the nuts are pale gold, about 3 minutes.
6
Transfer the onion mixture to a blender (or food processor, but a blender will work a little better); add the yogurt or sour cream and puree until smooth.
7
Season the sauce with salt to taste and pour over the chicken pieces in the casserole dish.
8
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and juices run clear.
9
Garnish with toasted almonds and serve with the sauce and rice.

Note: if you've not made this dish before, I recommend starting with 1 teaspoon of cardamom; taste it when you season to taste with salt before pouring over the chicken to bake, and add more cardamom if you like.
