This is a traditional Indian dish that's packed with flavor. The spices are a nice bite without being hot or overpowering. Serve with a side of whole wheat bread to soak everything up.
1. Heat a large non-stick pan or pot over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, add the olive oil and onions. Stir in the cardamom. Cook until onions start to turn translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the chopped chicken to the pan and continue stirring, approximately 5-6 minutes, until chicken starts to brown.
3. Mix in the remaining 10 ingredients, ginger through bouillon. Keep stirring until it begins to bubble. Then reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally for another 10-12 minutes until chicken is cooked and tender.
4. Serve and top with optional garnish if desired.
