1

In medium bowl, stir together yogurt sauce ingredients, reserving half of the mint for garnish; cover and refrigerate.
2

Place chicken broth in small bowl, and add saffron threads. Set aside.
3

Heat 10- to 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add butter; heat until foaming. Add chicken; brown on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate, using slotted spoon.
4

Add onion and salt to same skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until translucent. Add garam masala; cook 1 minute longer or until fragrant.
5

Add broth mixture, stirring first if using saffron threads. Add chicken; stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 3 to 5 minutes longer to allow flavors to combine.
6

Divide rice among 4 shallow bowls; top with chicken mixture, yogurt sauce and remaining mint.

Expert Tips

Boost the veggies in this dish by adding 1 cup frozen sweet peas to the chicken mixture along with the broth. Just add 2 minutes to the cook time.
If using a nonstick pan, increase cook time for chicken so it has time to brown on all sides.
Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
