Preparation:
1. Prep the Protein: Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant.
3. Build the Flavor Profile: Stir in the cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, cooking for 30 seconds more.
4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
5. Reintroduce the Protein: Return the cooked chicken to the sauce, ensuring it’s fully coated. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until heated through.
6. Garnish and Serve: Stir in the fresh cilantro. Serve immediately over a bed of rice or cauliflower rice, garnished with additional cilantro and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
