Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Stir into chicken, increase heat to high, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until chicken has just cook through.

    Incredible!
    The whole family liked it! I wouldn't say "spicey" so much as "flavorful". Distinct Indian flavor. - 3/10/16
