Notes
- Chili powder: This recipe is not spicy. If you prefer the dish to be spicier, add more to taste.
- Chicken: I've used boneless, skinless chicken breast in this recipe, and it worked well.
- Heavy cream: Add up to 1/2 cup heavy cream if you prefer the dish to be creamier.
- Yogurt: I've used regular and Greek yogurt. Both work well.
