Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 boned and skinned chicken breast halves -- cut in
1" cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 piece fresh ginger (1" x 1") -- cut in slivers
2 cloves garlic -- crushed
1 lg onion -- sliced thin
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 c plain yogurt
1/2 c chicken broth -- divided
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp soy sauce

In frypan, place olive oil and heat over medium temperature. Add chicken,
ginger, garlic and onion; saute about 10 minutes or until chicken is brown
on all sides and onion is transparent. Meanwhile, in crockpot, place
chicken broth (I used 1/2 cup warm water with 3 chicken bouillon cubes),
cumin, coriander, parsley flakes, curry powder, and pepper. In a small
separate dish, combine the cornstarch and soy sauce. When smooth, stir into
the crockpot with the spice mixture. Add the browned chicken and onion
mixture into the broth/spice mixture in crockpot. Gently stir in the
yogurt. Set crockpot on low and cook for about 3 to 4 hours.
