A rich and flavorful chicken korma recipe that's easy to prepare and perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the chicken.
Place the chicken breasts in an ovenproof dish and set aside.
Using a shallow dish helps the sauce cover the chicken evenly.
In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until softened.
Cook the onion until translucent for a sweeter flavor.
In a food processor, blend the sautéed onion, yogurt, garlic, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, salt, and mango chutney into a smooth sauce. Add a splash of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
Blend until completely smooth for a velvety sauce.
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the dish, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the dish with foil.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Check the chicken's doneness by cutting into the thickest part to ensure it's no longer pink.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice and warm naan bread.
Adding fresh coriander enhances the dish's aroma and presentation.
